Our room was ready when Madelyn and I arrived.  They did her first blood transfusion, drew blood to run more test and started her on IV antibiotics. Brad and Dan made in around midnight. The on-call Oncologist came a little after that. He was very informative and told us he was 99% sure she has Leukemia but he wont have an official diagnosis until some test come in the next day. Madelyn passed out and slept all night. Mom, Dad and Bumpa maybe caught a cat nap that night.

Madelyn’s levels on 10/31

White Blood Count (WBC): 40,640 with 95% blast cells (Leukemia) 
WBC help fight off infection. Normal count is 5-10,000
Hemoglobin (HGB): 4.2
HGB carries oxygen around the body. This is why she is getting blood transfusion. Normal is more than 12 
Platelets: 46,000 
Platelets help blood clot. Blood transfusions will also help this. Normal is greater than 150,000
Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC): 460
ANC estimates ability to fight off bacterial infections. Normal is greater than 1000
