Haven't totally rounded the corner yet but the Platelet Count went up on it's own without an IV and the White count increased drastically during the past 24 hours.
Still running some low grade fever and hopefully 'this too shall pass'.
My Hematologist, Dr Oscar Oscarson, will be out ot town next week and I'll have the Bone Marrow Transplant specialist covering for him. Hoping that I and the blood count numbers continue to improve during the weekend. I expect that Dr. Birhiray will do a Bone Marrow Procedure on Tuesday or Wednesday next week.
There is a growing thread of thought or option fueled by Dr Birhiray's scheduled vacation that I might be dismissed from the hospital and be able to be home for 3- 4 weeks before the actual Bone Marrow Transplant is done
That decision will be made after the results of the Bone Marrow Procedure are available.
Glad that the count numbers have improved to the point that I can now have fresh fruits and vegetables (Been missing Tossed Salads and Bananas) Think that I'll also be able to get off the Oncology floor and even get outside when the weather cooperates. That will a welcome change of scenery.
Have a Super, Fun and Safe Memorial Day Weekend.
