!!!!!!!

This morning Amanda’s daily blood counts came back with more good news! Again, the magic number to come home lies, not solely in, but largely in the ANC reaching 500. Yesterday it was at 100, and the consensus among the Doctors was that it would take until mid/ late next week to get there. Her ANC count this morning was, drumroll, please… 400!! Not only that, but the way that they look to the Doc’s and a recovery this fast is a very good indicator that it’s good cells growing back, not cancer cells. ‘Still, as always, gotta’ wait for the next battery of test results to be sure, but it’s very positive news.

This does not negate the need for the bone marrow transplant, but allows her to feel much better, much sooner. It also gives her body more precious time to repair itself before the BMT.

So as it stands now, she ought to be ready to come home, temporary as it may be, early/ mid next week!!!

Yeah!!

I never thought of it before, but it’s really fun typing exclamation points!!!!!
