As expected, at this point in the journey, my numbers have started to stabilize. This should remain this way for likely the next 2 days, until we start seeing first a slow rise in my blood counts. This will be followed by a rapid spike once engraftment of the stem cells in the bone marrow occurs. It's almost like catching timbers to a flame before the logs catch fire...see I'm already thinking of the cottage:) Good sign!
Dr. Fedorenko ran full blood biochemistry this morning to check in on the liver enzymes. Good news in that all functions have returned to normal. ALT is still a bit elevated, but a third of what it was a few days ago. He will be administering another round of hepato-protective agent this afternoon, simply as a caution, but certainly I am relieved. He leaves nothing to chance, always staying one step ahead.
Today's Blood Counts:
Hemoglobin: 103
Leukocytes: 0.08
Platelets: 38
All counts are remaining in safe territory, so along we go. Day 4 for isolation today...I'll have to either start looking for some more interesting APPS to download or get going on more continuing education credits for work. We will see which one wins out:)
All the best to you all. Thanks as always for your support!
