DOT +26

Labs were drawn today and most labs were stable except for the white blood count. It has dropped to 1.3. The docs are being very straightforward and saying they really do not know what is causing the drop. It could be the graft coming in, a virus, or something else. We are sticking with the idea that it is the graft!

They talked again about starting shots that will increase my WBC but they don't want it to skew my bone marrow biopsy on Friday. So for now, they are just letting it stay low. Once the results come back from the biopsy, (5-7 days) there can be a better plan in place.

Laura heads back wednesday for her gallbladder surgey. She should be back in time for the results of the biopsy. It's really going to stink having her in Gboro, but she should be feeling better after the surgery.

Thanks for all the cards, calls, text, emails and comments!!
