MY FEW DAYS WITH A HIGH ANC

Happy news! On Friday, at one of my clinic appointments, where I got more chemo and had blood drawn, I found out that my ANC (absolute neutrophil count) had gone up to 5,000. They told me that for a few days, until the chemo knocks it down to zero again, I would be able to go out of my "bubble" and have fun.

So on Friday night, to celebrate, we went to Rudy's BBQ for dinner. It was so much fun, that after, we headed on over to my aunt and uncle's house (Mike and Amy). We brought stuff for banana splits, and chowed down. Then, things started getting crazy. My dad and uncle thought that it would be fun to shave their heads for me. So literally, they got the "shaver", went in the backyard, and shaved their heads. It was so hilarious:) It's going to take some time getting used to a bald dad and uncle.

Then, Saturday morning was a busy time. My dad and uncle have been working on this SEAL competition. They had to swim 11 laps (back and forth), do as many pull-up, sit-ups, and push-ups as they could do in 2 mintues each, and then they had to run 1.5 miles. Their team won! They talk about it all the time now. Also, my brother Jacob had his Broncos football scrimmage and they won too! Hip hip hooray. All during this, I had visits from friends. Sister Tamayo, Pamela, and Valeria came and brought me my all time favorite "lemon water." Cne and Kristen also came to visit. It was a fun time. Then, my family and I went to Beck's Prime where I had the best bacon cheeseburger ever. It is actually rated the 9th best burger in Texas. It was really good. When we came home, we just chilled and had fun. We rented 13 Going On 30, super cute movie! I had a blast for those days and am sad that I have a "bubble" again.

Love,
Kenna!
