This week has flown by. My best friend, Oksana came down to spend the week with me. It is been wonderful. I haven't seen her in two months and I miss our talks very much. So we have spent a lot of time with a cup of tea, yacking. The weather has been very poor so it was a nice way to pass the hours.
I have been two days in clinic this week. It is much the same procedure as upstairs in unit 57 but things are more casual. The nurses are great. As my platelets start to stabilise I will got in less and less, probably only once a week.
The blood counts have not moved much. I received a red blood transfusion on Friday but that is the first in three weeks which is good news. My white blood count and neutriphils are holding their own at 1.5 and 1.0. I'm pleased as I haven't had a shot of GCSF in about two weeks. The platelets keep falling but we are starting to inch to more time in between transfusions. I'm hoping this is showing a positive trend and not an abberation. Also the production of my baby red blood cells is in the normal range which is exciting.
Madeleine and Michael came this weekend. Both she and I are excited about spending the week together next week. Trying to visit while still parenting in one day is too difficult and stressful.
My transplant doctor is back from holidays this week and I am going to starting asking about when I can come home. I think I can make a good case for an early return. Wish me luck!!!!
Until next time, hugs and love
