Margy's Counts Appear to be Trending Upward
Margy's blood counts are used as a marker of her recovery. After chemo, radiation, and transplant, the blood counts stay very low for awhile. The past two days her counts have been trending upward. Her white blood cells (WBC) are up to 170 today as are her neutrophils! This is wonderful news and we look forward to seeing this counts continue upward in the next several weeks. Today is day 24 post transplant. On day 30 we will check for whether or not the bone marrow has engrafted. Please keep your prayers going and your fingers crossed!
