Day +13  Donor Dan is starting to do his thing.  My white count went from .2 to .3  The other counts are based on transfusions at this point and the ANC is still unreadable.  Once the white count gets going the ANC will start showing up as readable.  I woke up to that good news,, but I am out of morphine and my pain untreated is 9-10 when I swallow, 6 when not.  Just happy that the first sign of engraftment is here.  The Lord has answered my prayers, this is more of a normal transplant so far unlike the previous two chemo treatments.  Lord willing, we should be out of here by Monday.   Once again Betty and I thank all of you for your thoughts and prayers.

God Bless,
Scott

    Great news, heading in the right direction.
    Hope you get the pain meds you need, while you're hurting. Hit the button, get some rest, and keep up the good work.
    We'll be right here on the edge of our seats!
    Thanks so much for sharing the good news.

  7. That is great news Scott keep those numbers improving. We will continue to pray for you and Betty. If you need more pain melds just ask you have been through so much already. Hopefully soon you will be home and have no need for those pain meds. Stay strong see you soon.
