I meant to post yesterday that they did several cultures to try to find why I am still running a fever. When I take Tylenol, the fever does not show up, but as soon as I stop taking it, the fever reappears.
We spent less time today at UAMS than we have in quite a while. We were there between 4 and 5 hours and it was really good to have that extra time away from there.
My white count today was 3.33 and my platelet count was 13. The platelet count was 14 yesterday so that means the bone marrow is producing even though it's got a long way to go to be at full production. When I got the melphalan chemo, it killed out my bone marrow. The stem cells are used to go in and rebuild my bone marrow. The doctors expected that my stem cells are not in real good shape and would be very slow in rebuilding the bone marrow. I have been very pleased so far at how quickly it appears the bone marrow is being rebuilt. I am very thankful that is the case.
We are thankful that is the case also. Praying for continued progress.
