Today was another day of not feeling well. The nurse assured me that I was right on target for how I should be feeling now. The APN threatened me if I did not start eating that she would have me admitted to the hospital and fed through a tube. I think that has convinced me.
My white count today was 0.08. My platelet count was 12. I received a unit of blood today. My blood counts will not recover until the stem cells have found a place to live in my bone marrow and are producing as bone marrow. No one knows when this will be.

  3. Jerry and Reta, I have not been commenting as I was having problems with my computer but hope it is fixed now. I have been reading your blog every day and praying for the both of you. Praying you will be feeling much better soon. Hugs Darlene

  4. I pray that you will be able to eat and that your stem cells will find a place to live in your bone marrow and produce the desired results. It must be very difficult for you and Reta to be away from home and not have a date for your return. May God comfort and care for both of you and help you through each day.
