Numbers game / Day 22 since transplant

Hello..hope your Halloween was safe and candy 'lite' and weren't your hands delighted to turn back the clock hands (digits) that wonderful one hour? ..and this segues into Becky and her white count and platelets turning back ..Whites were 3100 and platlets were also around 31K, (down from 37K)...But again, it's OK, per: the Doctor. "Don't worry", he said. He's still pleased with what he is seeing. Becky was feeling OK considering, still tired, foggy...Solid food not her thing right now, but she does nibble on cereal. Another animal note. Thought we may have to ask the dog to leave for three months, but Dr. said, "no, no, it's OK as long as he is NOT in the room." Hey! thanks Doc. Will follow these orders, no problem. The Doctor is a dog lover. He knows exactly what our 'best friends' can and cannot do, upon the patient's return home. That's cool... It has been a total of 32 days, seems like a blur, also seems each minute was counted/felt.

Abbey doing good...really can't wait for Mom to come home. I saw Dorothy do the '3 click' on those ruby red shoes while at some friend's house the other night and well you know the rest of the story..Yeah, only in the movies, but it sure was nice to see and imagine. We just pray for the last 'in-patient', yes in-patient hospital 'undo-click' of that catheter line to happen soon.. Becky still has to have this chest catheter for 1oo days after transplant, but just being home will perhaps make carrying this dual white 'long straw' line more tolerable. (She will have to return to City Of Hope twice a week while "wearing" the chest catheter, blood is drawn from these lines, fluids are administered and more)
We trust in God's ultimate lead. We ask for patience and strength.

"I can do all things, through Him who strengths me" Phil 4:13

Celebrate life, don't ever forget how to have some fun dayz... :)+=

Much Love,

Bill & Becky
