Well, we thank/ praise God, Becky woke up with her plates at 43K! Which was awesome, therefore the internal scope/biopsy procedure was permitted..and she did just fine. Her whites did drop again to 1.1 (1100)..Yes, discouraging, but Becky said; 'she felt good today' ..almost happy-like..We will know for sure tomorrow..Thurs. if the Graft Vs. Host is on the radar, and if so, how to treat it. The Dr. thinks there is a trace of it, but this is common. Becky was funny, she called it "the Graft cr***p, disease." (ok, I'll say it, the 'Graft crap' disease) I guess you had to be there, it was a humorous moment. Oh, and Becky called later to say she played some solitaire...This is really good, she hasn't had the focus to do this in a few weeks or more. Yes!
WE just want those white cells numbers to ascend...this is the key to her road home. The medical lesson for today is: Simply put, the white cells fight infection, the red blood carries the oxygen, and the platelets perform the big job of clotting. The human body, though subject to breakdowns, abnormalities and in need of major tune ups from time to time, is absolutely amazing. We are indeed an awesome creation. May we never forget it.
Just to note *..Abbey had a Mtn. Dew and a donut for breakfast, and for dinner, mashed potatoes, oreos and a triple shot mocha.. She functions just fine after this nutritious intake...OK, I'll stop..She's doing great...eating well and doing good in school..
Good health and blessings to you..As Thanksgiving rapidly approaches..there is no need to say it, but I will...Give thanks in ALL things!
Celebrate life! Dance..

Our prayers are surrounding you, God continues to hold you in His wonderful hands Becky, trust and rest in that while your head lays on that satin pillow!! We miss your hugs too!! Love you!
