Guys.  Do you see it?  Look closely at the picture…

My white counts are up!  And I have Neutrophils!  After 12 days of none.  This means the transplant is working!!!  And working very quickly.  Today is day 11; they say that for many people, counts don’t start coming up until day 14-21.  This is awesome!

You know what else is awesome?  I am doing so well that I might be discharged TOMORROW!  Normally they do not discharge people this early.  But since we live a mere 30 blocks away, I was told from the get-go that I may be getting out early.  Since I can be at the hospital in less than 10 minutes should something go wrong, they feel ok about letting me go.  And I really have been feeling fine and very much like myself for the last week or so.  I’m basically just hanging out here watching TV and getting my meds.  And since most of my meds can be switched to oral versions, there really isn’t too much keeping me here.  So barring any fever or other complications between today and tomorrow, I will be sleeping in my own bed tomorrow night.  Yay 🙂
