November 15, 2013.. Dear friends and family, thank you for caring enough to be here and following us in this blog. Most of all thank you for your prayers, best wishes, cards and support.
I felt good today. We made the two trips to the hospital today for the Neupogen injections and all went well. I had to get a unit of platelets due to low platelet count.
We have become acquainted with two other patients and their caregivers during our visits each day to infusion 4. One of them was from southwestern Kansas and the other from Tulsa, OK. They were both there in preparation for stem cell collection (like me) so we would talk with them in the waiting room each morning and evening. They were ahead of me in the process, one by a couple of days and the other by 3 or 4 days. One of them went to apheresis for collection two days ago (we have not seen them again) and the other is going tomorrow. I sure hope I get to go and have a successful collection that quickly.
My white cell count today was 0.20, hemoglobin-9.4, platelets-17 (before I received the infusion of platelets)
Hey Jerry, i wish you and Reta were going to be here tomorrow. I know it is hard being away from family during the holidays but know that we are thinking of you and missing you two. We love you guys. I hope you have a nice Thanksgiving where you are. I hope we can make up for it at Christmas
