Smile June 27 - madubois63 update
Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. I am doing well - so well, I MAY be going home tomorrow!!!!! My counts are on the rise. My white count was down as low as .4 last week and it is up to 1.3 as of this morning. My platelets have been as low as 9 and as of this morning, they are 117 - YEAH!!! They'll do another CBC this afternoon, and then I'll get the official answer. My doc doesn't say things lightly, so I am pretty confident. I can be packed in three minutes -lol!!!! My dog is gonna be sooooo excited!! I can't wait to see him. My kids come visit and I talk to them all the time, so don't think me a bad mom..but he's my baby too!! I have to come back the hospital twice a week for blood work and care of my catheter and next week they'll do another bone marrow biopsy to determine if I am in remission (prayers please). I will be making an appointment for a consultation in Buffalo (not my choice), but from what I understand, each center specializes in specific details of each disease. Because of the BC, Buffalo is the best place for me. One good thing is that it is in state (insurance wise). The bad thing is Buffalo is like a 7 - 8 hour drive -ugh!!! Guess I will be VERY lonely there...well one thing at a time! So far so good. Thanks again for all the prayers, well wishes and love!!!

It's good to hear positive news from you!


And as far as the Buffalo trip, find yourself a good book-on-tape and time will pass faster.

Love and light,

Lisa
