November 18, 2013.. My white cell count today was 1.42, hemoglobin-8.7, platelets-33. The HPC count was 0. During the past week, my C-Reactive Protein has been a bit higher than it should be which can indicate an infection. It has dropped and is now within limits. I have felt good today. 

The trees here are at about their peak in fall color. On our drives each day, we see the Bradford pear trees color in full beauty. The colors range from yellow to bright red on the same tree sometimes. They are beautiful. I have never seen color like that on Bradford trees at home.  
  
I got the 600 mcg injections of Neupogen twice today. My APN said last week she planned to increase the dosage to maximum but has changed her mind for now because my white cell count is recovering at the rate she expects. The dosage might need to be increased later.

We did not see the folks we had met from Tulsa today. That means she was successful in her stem cell collection this morning and there was no need for them to come to infusion 4 where we go for my injections. We missed talking with them and comparing notes on this disease. 

Below are some photos of what we look like at the hospital each day.
