We are going to IPOP everyday and looking to see if the blood counts are rising. The transfusions yesterday got the platlets and red cell counts up, but the white cell count is still very low. Now we are not sure when, or even if, the peresis will be done. Mindey Landau, nurse practitioner extraordinaire, talked with us and mentioned that they might have to get the stem cells in another way if counts do not come up. We will be here more than through Wednesday, possibly into next week now.
The apartment clothes washer and dryer has been running, so clean clothes and sheets and towels are no problem. Safeway has a nice store within 2 miles of the apartment, so that is no problem either. Our stash of frozen suppers will be gone by Wed evening, so we will be doing more than heating up dinners later this week. Of course we do have pork and sauerkraut for New Years Day! Leftovers from when Julie & Eric were at our house. God does provide us with many wonderful things. Now if only He would grow some new skin on the end of my thumb, where I used the apple peeler to peel off that big patch of skin.
Love to all - Rick & Adele
