Engraftment!
Engraftment achieved on Friday! White blood cell count is come up very nicely over the last two days so Deann has taken a big step on the road back from transplant hell. Got a ways to go before they’re ready to turn her loose but there are definite signs that she feels a little better today. She’s back on oxygen and has some lung congestion and spends most of her time sleeping but had more spark today. The plan is to give her a blood transfusion tomorrow to help her red blood cell counts and check her Tuesday. If she’s doing better then, she might be able to come home later in the week. They’ve told us with this treatment there really is no normal, so we’re not getting too excited just yet...just grateful that we have the support of our family and friends and in knowing that you’re all with us.

Great news!! Just tonight saying prayers, Jake said, "Bless mom's friend Deann that she will be healed from her cancer." He's such a sensitive little guy. So know that big and little are pulling for you.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is such great news. I'm so happy you are feeling better. May the Lord continue to comfort and bless you. Get lots of rest so that your body produces more good white blood cells. You're doing great, Deann. I love you.
