I figured I had better update for today sooner rather than later, given my last post.
Just one dose of the growth factor boosted her neutrophil count in this morning's labs to 524. Her WBC's were 1.2. The doc said that such a dramatic reaction to the growth factor could only happen with someone on the verge of engrafting.
*long sigh of relief*
They will cut the growth factor dose in half today--as two side effects I neglected to mention are bone pain and spleen growth--and see if her numbers hold.
Heavens. What a ride.

What a ride indeed. May the engrafting hold strong and make this baby thrive!

I don't know how you are enduring this ride. I am sending you love, peace and strength...let those cells engraft already! XOXO

Hang in there, Zen-ophiles! I feel a good tipping point coming...crossing eyes/toes/fingers etc. X0X0
