Day # 9

I slept until 11:00 this morning ! Itook a sleeping pill last night and only woke up for vitals and blood draws. Maybe I should request those more often.Ha ha. My counts are rising . My wbc's are 470 and that is a good sign. However, I ran a temp of 38.6 during the night so now they are closely monitoring them. Just have to take this magic school bus ride one day at a time. And I would like to extend a special thanks to Steve Wicker. He is 3+ years out of bone marrow transplant.He wrote many comforting words to me and gave me details I didn't know.He is definitely a support person I can go to if I have questions. That is comforting to have someone to talk with and know "hey, is this normal.........did this ever happen to you?" I definitely have been touched by many, many people in so many diffeent ways. As the song says,"I'm only one, but not alone,my finest day is yet unknown!"YES I CAN

    Great to hear things are improving and you're feeling better. Marcie's luck ran out last night as she came away with no winners but she still had fun. Hope things continue to get better for you and before you know it you'll be home. We'll be back up next week. Travis Keri, Bryan, and Reghan send there love. Hope you have a good weekend Love you Doug and Pat

    Hi Bella!
    We talked with Kyle and Marcie last night and it sounds like that bus is truckin' right on down the road to HOME! I've ridden on many a school bus and believe me, you're the driver I want for the next field trip:) I'm so glad things have eased up for you and I can only imagine how tough a week you had, BUT you came out the WINNER again! It's one day at a time or one hour, whatever it takes, you'll do it. You have convinced me that the spirit is stronger than anything. You are our shining star in the darkest of night, our angel on earth. YES I CAN!
