Bloodwork Appt Today- Counts are good

Chris has been home since Monday night. He is enjoying being home very much

Since Monday night, he has gotten a little bit stronger in his legs...
On Monday night, he walked up the stairs ... took a break half way up and needed help...

Tonight, he got all the way up before needing a break...

This morning, he had a bloodwork appointment... Platelets were good... white blood cells are up to 6 and I cannot remember the red blood number.. but we were sent on our way home... no transfusions needed ;) Jackie was a pleasure as always... The appointment went smoother than we could have imagined...
I was worried about what we would do if he needed a transfusion because I had to get Chris home and then go to a job fair for work.... and if he needed a transfusion, I would have had to go.. and we had no ride scheduled until 3pm :( But... it worked out... whew..... Little things like this cause such craziness because they often schedule Chris on their time.. and it is often at bad times for us to get him there... Friday, we have an appointment with Dr Strair... and more bloodwork... but its super early in the morning.. so thats good
Jackie is working on scheduling the donor.. so the bone marrow transplant will happen whenever the donor is ready... Jackie is pretty sure it will be after thanksgiving.. but it can be very soon after thanksgiving if the donor is ready that soon... so we might have a better idea on Friday
On Friday, we should also get more info on the final biopsy...
Remember, the preliminaries of the bone marrow looked much improved from last time.. but the final will tell us exactly what it looked like...
As much as Chris doesnt want to be back in the hospital soon (cus its nice to be gome after 25 days of hospitalization).. we both know that the sooner the better...
We (me, chris, all of you, etc) have been praying for a miracle.. praying for good news, cure, strength, etc... So, whenever Chris can get in for transplant, is a good thing... its a blessing...
We are going to enjoy this time home ... and look forward to the transplant...
Keep you all posted
