Serenity had a dentist appointment today. She was scheduled for a cleaning next month but yesterday the receptionist called and said they could fit her in today. <\/p>\n
It wasn’t until we were there at the appointment that I remembered that her oncologist wants her to have prophylactic antibiotics a few hours before her appointment. I’ve forgotten in the past and they’ve always had us just hurry up and take some as soon as I remembered. <\/p>\n
So I called the oncology department, a little embarrassed that I’d forgotten. The person I spoke with chastised me because she was supposed to get a CBC ahead of time in order to make sure her ANC is above 500. I’ve never done this before! I really think I would have remembered. I mentioned that we’d never done it before and I don’t think he believed me. He said they always<\/em> want them to have a CBC ahead of time. He did agree to call in a prescription, but I wonder now what her ANC is and if everything will be alright.<\/p>\n We have an appointment next week for her monthly vincristine, and she’ll have another lumbar puncture with methotrexate injected into her spine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Serenity had a dentist appointment today.
