Hi Everyone,
Good news! My dad's white blood cell count increased to 2,974-in one day! Also, his temperature has stayed close to normal for the last 24 hours. He has a lot more energy and has been able to get out of bed and walk around a bit. Over the last few days, he has developed a cough which has left him very hoarse but he should return to his normal voice in the next day or so.
Because his cell count is so close to 3,000 (the minimum needed for harvesting) we are not sure how soon he will be transferred to Chicago. I will keep you posted. Also, becuase his immune system is still very compromised he and the doctors have asked that he does not have any visitors.
Thanks,
Michelle
That is great news, Michelle. What a relief that he has made such a comeback. You all are in my prayers and will continue to stay there throughout this entire process. Thanks for keeping us updated and take care.
