Up, Up and Awaaaaayyyyy!

UNbelievable news this morning, and all good!  His 3 a.m. CBC results:  WBCs at 2.9, Hemoglobin at 7.3 (no blood yesterday), ANCs at 2.6, and platelets at...drumroll....13!!  Of course he did take 4 bags of platelets yesterday, most to load him up for the procedure.  He had NO pain all night or this morning and slept like a baby.  There is a tiny bit of Dilaudid on a continuous drip via the PCA, so that is probably warding off any gout, groin, or splenic infarct pain.  He is also able to walk again due to a low dosage of steroids.  They are giving him one shot of Neupogen a day to stimulate WBC production.

He will be reinfused with Mary's cells at 11 a.m. this morning.
