home Tues, and good check in Wed.

Hi all -
I was able to leave Tuesday, and I got home around 6:30. We had to turn right around and head back down Wed. a.m. for my scheduled weekly visit, but well worth the drive to be in my own bed and see the kids.
We had a great visit yesterday. We went in with alot of anxiety as to what might be happening with my bone marrow due to these crazy drops in my counts. Although they don't have the cymerizm study back till next week (which tells us % of donor and host cells in my marrow), Dr. Meehan said my bone marrow looked GREAT! They had it up on a big slide for all the brain power to see yesterday. He said, "your bone marrow looks like my bone marrow". There was no reason to suspect rejection. All my counts rose from Tuesday too ... and he's pleased to see that. There are lots of maybes as to why they dipped down .... marrow is very sensitive now .... it could be meds, allergies, but he feels pretty convinced that the fevers and counts are due to a virus. AND that I'm probably going to keep having more fevers for a bit till the virus kicks. They've seen it with two other patients ... and suddenly, their counts were good. His advice to me to was .... STOP TAKING YOUR TEMP! Get up to pee at night and go back to bed, only. I was turning into an anxious basket case. So, time to recover!
