Day + 13 Praise The Lord!!!

Yes it is true ... I am praising the good Lord this morning. WE HAVE A WHITE COUNT OF 125 !!!!! I had to wonder last night if today could be the day. We have had 0.10 then 0.11 and lastnight it was 0.14. Just a slight increase..... but an increase at that. Wow!!! I was wondering when all of this was going to happen! May wearing my "Life Is Good" shirts has brought me luck after all. I was just trying to sych myself up and keep the faith.

Make no mistake, even though I have a super trooper son who has barrelled through all of the chemo and hurdles that have been thrown at him. He has had a fever since 2/20 (transplant day), mucocitis from the mouth to the bottom, a really red rash, swelling (he has gain 7.5 lbs since coming in), then there is the multiple units of platelets and RBC. Unfortunately, this is not over yet. He has to get more white cells in so that they can clean up his body. In many cases the counts will double or triple each time. Just depends on the "mother of white cells" in the marrow. There will be many doctor appts once we leave here up to a year. We can deal with that as long as we arent admitted again!!!

All in all, this is fabulous news and am looking so forward to having my family back together again and no more crying kids when I leave. Best of all is that Quinn should be cured of Glanzmanns' and can live life like a normal child!!!!!!!
