6/24/06. Yesterday mom and dad celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary! They came back a bit early (Wednesday) from Solvang when mom found out her white blood cell count was low. ( she wanted to be closer to home in the event of a fever etc.) The two of them had celebrated their day on the trip, but since yesterday was the actual day, Roldan and the kids & I went over and had dinner and watched a movie at their house. Mom and I looked through old photo albums, including their wedding album. They both looked so young!! ( and beautiful !) Anyway, mom seemed to be feeling pretty good yesterday and it was an enjoyable evening. Also on Friday mom had a blood test taken to measure her ANC count. (absolute neutrophil count ) We will get the results tomorrow. If the count is below 500 Mayo will not do her next chemo treatment as the risk for infection at that level is considered high, so pray for a good ANC count. If all is well, then we will be heading up to Scottsdale for her scheduled Tuesday chemo. Please keep mom and dad in your prayers and thoughts. Bye for now, Michelle
