Day "62"

Well, Jeff made it ten days without a blood transfusion, and that was a great mile stone in his BMT road. However, today he had to have two units of blood. His hemoglobin has been slowly dropping for the last week, but yesterday he bled a little more than usual. On a positive note, his platelets bumped up another point. Jeff asks for his CBC results first thing EVERY morning. He likes to know what has dropped, what has increased, and if he has to have a transfusion or not at the crack of dawn so he can plan for the day! We have not seen any improvement since starting estrogen yesterday, but we are trying to wait patiently! :) If he is still bleeding tomorrow night, the urologist plans to scope him on Tuesday morning.

Hey Guys. Thanks for the good blog you keep. Jeff, you definitely married up my friend.

Every week at Church (Morningside 1st) you are talked of, thought of, and prayed for. Sister Betty Ford gave a very nice prayer for you to start Sacrament meeting (its not very often that i'm on time to hear an opening prayer).

We are all proud of the endurance and courage shown by all the Andrus' family.
