Hb 106
WBC 10.07
PLT 37
N 6.2 (second day in row > 0.5)
Basically tomorrow if Lauren has a third day in a row where her neutrophils are greater than 0.5 again, they'll consider her new marrow to have engrafted from day +10 !!!! No fevers through the day today.
Still have to go through graft V's host diesease (GVHD) but at least currently on the right track (and coming in early at this stage). Some drug they're giving to assist in the creation of neutrophils is being reduced today or tomorrow as her bone marrow seems to be picking up the challenge itself.
By the way, the blood readings on these blogs are mainly for there aside from our own record, for the nurses and Dr's at W&C Hospital following Lauren's progress and a few friends in the medical fraternity who know what the numbers mean.
Also, if anyone from St Johns is looking at going on the 'Light the Night' walk in Adelaide on Sept 17 or organising a team (see Update #34), can you let us know via email as a family who used to be involved with St Johns, now living in the hills would like to join in.
