Hi Everyone,
More good news! My dad's white blood cell count was over 10,000 this morning! Upon discovering this, the doctors wanted him to go to the University of Chicago Medical Center first thing today for stem cell harvesting. The harvesting process takes about 4-6 hours and can hopefully be completed in one day. The blood is extracted and then given back so no blood loss is taking place. Depending how fast the process is-he may be able to go home tonight.
He is feeling more eneregetic now but still has a cough and is pretty hoarse. I will let everyone know when he is home.
Thanks,
Michelle
That's really good news, Michelle. I spoke with him last night, he was hoping today would be the day! I'll pass it along to Joanne. We wish him well, we'll catch up with him later at home, I hope!
