Today was a great day. I woke this morning feeling fully rested and raring to go. It's June 1st afterall.
My counts continue to fall (30.8 Hemogrit/186 White/15K platlets/90 ANC-neutrophil no.). My red cells are hanging tight since I received 2 units of blood yesterday. My platlet count is so depleted (normal is 150K - 350K) that I will probably need a unit by tomorrow. These numbers are from 10 PM Sunday evening so it's possible that the count could drop to 10 or 20K. As my numbers decrease it is imperative that my red cells and platlets are kept at a reasonable level since no one (not even you) can live without either one of them. The number to watch though is my ANC number. That is the one that we'll watch drop to zero and then slowly climb back up to normal levels. I'll be waiting for my new marrow comes to charge in, take over and lead me to a normal immune system! The red cells and platlets will follow suit on their own. YES!!!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI see your counts are going downtown....good for you. Sounds like you are right on schedule and doing fine. I wouldn't worry about your hair, it'll be more beautiful than ever.
Be well and God bless you.
Love,

Hey Beverly-
ReplyDeleteJust catching up on you and happy to see that everything seems to be doing what it should be doing. I'm very happy for you. Hopefully it won't be too much longer before you start to regain some of your energy. I'm off to a music festival for a couple days but will check back in when I get back. In the meantime, I'll continue to pray for your speedy recovery. Take care...

ReplyDeleteCan't wait for all this to go away for you! You are in my thoughts and prayers each day. I'm so glad that things are working out and hope that soon it will be over.
We miss you and can't wait to spend time with you at the marina. Take good care of yourself!
Lots of love and hugs from both of us!
