Today is Kristina's first day post-transfusion, and she sounds quite good. Yesterday she was a little melancholy and sad, but today she sounds upbeat.
She says the transfusion was "a non-event, just another transfusion" that took about an hour and a half. Somebody even took pictures, so maybe one day we'll have those online. One funny thing is that before the transfusion, her blood type was B-positive, and today it's A-positive.
Another thing that happened is that, as a result of the transfusion, her platelet count temporarily spiked. Here are today's blood numbers:
WBC 3.01
HCT 30
ANC 2.65
PLT 98
She says it's "all wait and see now," and there's no telling when we'll know anything definitive. What we do know is that she's lost 20 pounds but her hair is growing back -- and it's darker, which she doesn't seem too thrilled about.
Here's a way people can help: bring her a movie to watch. She likes international and travel films in particular.
I'll post more when I hear it.
