OK, latest news is that the liver numbers for Adele are still a bit elevated and the doctor wants to see her blood diagnostics on Monday morning. Since we had already decided to stay through Sunday, we decided to stay on here in Baltimore. Easy decision as Adele is very tired.
We got back from the IPOP around 10:30 and I dropped her in the apartment, where she almost immediately went to bed and fell asleep. I went to the grocery to fill in some blank spots, and returned around noon. She is sleeping as I type, not ready for lunch nor will I wake her to eat.
Now, should the liver numbers still be elevated, they could delay the stem cell transplant, but so far not cancel it. Everything is done to prepare for the transplant, so now we wait to see what the numbers say. The doctor was saying, if they are the same Monday, they could possibly delay 4 - 6 days, and that it would not cause a problem other than stretching out the time it will take, IE adding 4 - 6 days more. We are looking forward to having the transplant, and have been told (although I have learned not to bet on these numbers) that she will be an in patient for 4 weeks and 10 - 14 days after as an out patient. That puts us at mid February for completion, but maybe end of February.
Now we wait this weekend and recoup some of the strength she needs.
Later - Rick
