Today was a big day for news. First let me say that my white count was 6.82 which was lower than it was two days ago and it was lower yesterday than the day before. My hemoglobin is 8.8 but my platelet level was 59. I don't know why my white count has dropped. The doctor had predicted that my platelets would max out at 50 or 60. It looks like that it's going to be much higher than that unless it stops going.
The news I got just a few minutes ago was that I will be discharged on Thursday this week. We will probably head home on Friday spending the night somewhere in route. I don't think, at this point, I could make that drive in one day. We will have to return for testing in about three weeks after we leave here. It will be good to be back to good old home again.
Praise God!!!! Home Jerry!!! Congratulations
ReplyDeleteHallelujah! I am so thrilled for both of you that you will be going home this week. It is so encouraging to see the increase in your platelets. I pray that you will feel better & stronger the next two days, so that your drive home will not be too tiring. Best wishes to both of you.
ReplyDeleteWonderful news Jerry!!! I'm ire you and Reta are more than ready! It's great that the platelets counts are continuing to go up.
ReplyDeleteJerry, great news. I know I am always the Momma Hen but make sure you think you feel well enough to start home on Friday, that is a long trip. Know you two can't get home fast enough. Tennessee air will make you feel better. Hugs, Darlene
