Day +13

So things are starting to look up. My blood counts have improved dramatically over the past 48 hours and its likely that I will have them all in the range required to be discharged by Thursday or Friday. I still have the obstacles of dealing with pain management and daily fevers to make this happen but we are on the right track. Most of the pain should improve with the continuing increase in new cells, the old cells in some parts of my body just do not exist any more and they need to be rebuilt and put to work. As for the fevers, that may just be the way my body is dealing with all these old and new cells trading off- they just might be around for awhile. I will do my best to update the blog as soon as we know something official, so keep on checking in.

I also wanted to say THANKS once again to everyone, you have been so very warm with your thoughts and prayers. It REALY helps to have such a great cheering team behind you.
