My Mom's a Zero

Ok, so it's been awhile.  Mom's been doing pretty well since her second round of chemo.  She's just been a little tired.  I actually think that's her excuse for not doing anything. 
Mom had her weekly blood draw on Tuesday and today her results came back.  She has zero white blood cells. (Probably hasn't contributed to the energy thing-but whose fault is it she has a zero white blood count huh?  She's the one making--or not making the white blood cells)
We shouldn't really be surprised, after all what's one more low thing in her life?  Most of her life she's had low blood pressure, low patience, low tolerance for fighting children.... need I say more? 
Now Mom has to get shots of antibiotics (drugs) that will do for her what she won't do for herself-create white blood cells.
All kidding aside, please keep Mom in your prayers.  She has to get her white blood count over 500 in order to get her next round of chemo on Thursday.   Mom shouldn't have other people around until her count is up.  So, feel free to check in with her on the phone.
Thanks y'all.
