Day + 10

Views

Well Judy never ceases to amaze us. Her blood numbers surged overnight again. In most cases the cells are just starting to graft and just starting to show counts. Judy's counts today are very near pre-hospitalization levels. The doctors tell her that she could now be released as early as Thursday or Friday. With these good blood numbers come a relief in the side effects. She was able to swallow some 7-Up and some chicken broth. After not eating or drinking for this long she has to eat small quantities. The fevers are still present but seem to be shorter in duration, she required no pain medication today. She still has a long road with many obstacles so keep the good vibes and prayers coming as they are obviously working.
