Eggheads on Easter


Martha and Mark are stylin' with the same haircuts! How do you like that? I'll tell you something else you're going to like! Martha's "ANC" is 600 today.

ANC=Absolute Neutrophil Count and that relates to her blood counts; white cells - red cells - platelets, all combined. This number is the one that has to be at least 500 or above in order for her to be released. Now the next step on the road to getting out of here is no fevers and no infections. Currently she has 2 infections and a low-grade fever. Both of which are on their way O-U-T of her system since her blood counts (immune system) are on their way back.
