Thank you all for your being so diligent in your prayers and good all around vibes..We feel them!
Sight drop in the white count to 4400...BUT the good news is, those darn platelets which alerted us to this illness in the first place, are holding and even increased today! The platelets have a tendency to 'lag' behind the white count..They are the stubborn ones to increase. But they are at 37K, that's a 10K rise from yesterday. Believe me, we want these to go up, up, up and away.
The norm for platelets is between 150-350K. Becky did need two units of red blood today. Her hemoglobin a bit off. She did some good physical therapy yesterday. She was tired and 'mind foggy' today. But, said it before, this is all part of the road to recovery. She is eating some solid food. Her insulin needs were reduced! That's good too! So, we are indeed seeing some great recovery 'markers'. We pray for Becky to back at the "Love Shack" before we know it..OK, that's kinda one of her fave songs, "Love Shack"..
It will be repeated over and over, but we are so grateful for the physician overseeing Becky. We Praise God he was chosen for Becky's case, or perhaps he was lead to take it on. He is the associate director of the entire Hematology/Bone marrow Transplantation staff. We surely didn't/couldn't have planned this.
Onward forward..
Much love, Celebrate life!
Bill & Becky
