Blood results have started to show what we expected at this point in time. After being down next to 0 for the past three days, I am starting to experience some minor, although significant changes in my blood levels. This is as expected, as full engraftment still will not occur for another 2-3 days. That being said, we are starting to migrate up, even if only a bit at a time! Once the engraftment happens, there is usually quite an upward spike in all blood component values.
Todays' Blood Values:
Hemoglobin: 108
Leukocytes: 0.22 (Neutophils are still way down at 0.1)
Platelets: 47
Comparatively to where they were yesterday, yes they are up, but just enough to say we are getting the rebooting process started!
All is great over here. The days have been surprisingly productive and isolation will soon begin to loosen once the engraftment process truly happens. Let's hope for the weekend!
All the best from Moscow!
