We were only at UAMS about two hours today. After I got my blood drawn and tested, they determined that I didn't need anything extra. That was really good news for us and we enjoyed our time off.
My white count today jumped up to 6.83. The platelet count had gone to 27 and the hemoglobin was 9.2 which was lower than it was yesterday by .3.
I don't normally feel as good as usual and I have some other issues but I am slowly on the mend.
Let me say something about what I posted last night about the Parvovirus. It is common in children and they told me that I might have had it since childhood but never been active because my immunity has never been that low. It is not related to the parvo that dogs have. In children it is often called Fifth disease.
Jerry, I am so pleased that your stem cells appear to be doing their job. I pray that your progress will continue. It is so good to read that you did not need blood and platelets and did not have to go to the hospital early today. It probably seemed strange to decide what to do with your free time today after spending so much time at the hospital recently. Love to you both.

Jerry, so glad the white count is coming up, things will be getting better each day. Praying for you and Reta, this is certainly not easy for either of you. Looking forward to seeing you two again, we really miss you. hugs, Darlene
