November 29, 2010 Coming back up again!

WBC is going up... slowly today they were 0.9 compared to 0.5 on Friday.

Everything is going as expected which is good and Adrian is feeling
great. You wouldn't know he was 'sick' unless he told you. Now we are
waiting for the counts to keep on going up until they can harvest his
stem cells. It might be this week or next week. Then he can come home
for a week before he goes back for transplant.

On Saturday I met this man with his daughter in the cafeteria, we
started talking and it shows out they are from Austin and that the
girl's grandmother had just had a transplant, two days earlier!! She
had had an allo transplant (donor) and she was doing great. Keep in
mind she is 65 years old and had been battling leukemia for 3 years.
Originally she had been against transplant but the doctors told her,
her life would be very short if she didn't. She did it and 2 days
later she was up and around in the room. That is pretty awesome!!!
Even the grandkids were allowed in the room as long as they wore
masks, gloves, smock and clean clothes!!

That sounds great to me!!

Adrian is doing as expected, the counts went up and then down and now
slowly up again. It is all good - he is a good patient :)
