Deann is now Day 7 after her transplant...the time she is most apt to feel bad & she would not doubt confirm that she does. It’s sobering to see how quickly some of the treatment side effects can take hold. Yesterday, I went out for a couple of hours with her feeling pretty good & came back to see her totally wiped out. Still, as I look around the treatment center, I know she is getting through this better than most...of course that’s no surprise is it??
Last test showed her white blood cell count pretty much wiped out & now she needs to start generating those cells on her own. Typically that happens from Day 10 to 14. She just received a blessing from Trevor & Andrew, who broke his arm Saturday & needs one himself. Sarah is now taking care of all of us... so I’m pretty sure more kids aren’t in her game plan just yet. She just gave Deann a little trim ...nobody looks better in a buzz cut!
Please keep Deann in your thoughts & prayers because we all she needs that to help her through this thing!
