Yahoo! Jeff hit an ANC of .5 today, and he has a White Blood Count (WBC) of 1.0! I don't know what the nurses did, but I did my own "happy dance" here at my sisters house when I heard the news! That was still not the ticket to go home, but the doctor said that Christmas Eve was a realistic release date! :) He still has some issues to overcome--lung, kidney function, potassium level, bladder, neupogen, etc, etc, etc! He received platelets and blood and had the usual nausea and vomiting. Seriously, I don't know how he does it!
Oh-ya...more good news! As of today, all of Jeff's medications have been switched to PO (which just means they are taken orally)! So, he only needs his med pole (aka his second wife) when he receives blood products! Other than that, he is a free man! The trips to the bathroom just got a little easier! :)
One last thing...I put a hit counter on this blog last Friday morning, and as of tonight (Thursday) there have been 2158 hits! Thanks for the overwhelming show of support! You don't have a clue how much it brightens our day! Thanks!
