I was finally released on Friday around 3:00. It was so good to be home I decided to take the weekend and just relax with my wife. Because of the transplant I pretty much cannot do anything but relax, but it was refreshing to observe the sabbath in my own house with my wife, Praise the Lord!
Well my numbers are slowly going up, their taking a little longer than they normally would have because of the extensive amounts of chemo that I had previosly gone through before the stemcell transplant, but none the less are creeping their way back up. The white blood cells are at 5.5, and the platelets are in the 20's. Not that these are the only two, but are the more important that the wbc keep the infections down, and the platelets keep you from bleeding out. I go in on Wed. for another cbc (complete blood count) to find out what my numbers are then. Today when they did the cbc they also took blood for my tumor markers. This has not been done since before I went in for the stemcell. I pray for increase from the Lord.
If the Lord wills I will post again on Wed. after I get my counts and give an update on how things are going. Talk soon,
