Chlorophyll

Not long after getting back from Seattle, I thought I'd stop in at my favorite vitamin store, Good Earth, to see if they had any good ideas to help boost Elizabeth's platelets. (Every single chemo delay she's had since Dec has been due to low platelets.) I found found one of the store health consultants and explained the chemo/platelet situation to her. It just so happened that she has a son with a blood disorder and chronically low platelets. She told me that chlorophyll fixed it and I figured it was worth a try. After only a few weeks of Elizabeth taking chlorophyll, I can't believe the difference! Her platelets and other blood levels are better than they have been in months, and that's especially significant because of how late we are into her treatments. In general, the more chemo you have had, the longer it takes to rebound and Elizabeth has had only a few days delay in her chemo (as opposed to a whole week) since she started taking chlorophyll. I am so hopeful that she may be able to start chemo on time a week from today! ๐Ÿ™ She's working hard in her PT and continues to make slow, steady progress. Her back is healing well and no longer causing her constant pain. She is turning 15 a month from yesterday and is so excited to be able to get her driving permit soon. It's very fortunate that her right leg works! ๐Ÿ˜Š (Her left leg is far behind still.) We love you all! Thank you for your continuous support and prayers๐Ÿ’•
