Kristina’s transplant has been put off a day – sort of. It will happen around 4 a.m. on Wednesday. Apparently the plane with the stem cells doesn’t get to Seattle until 11:20 tonight.
She’s a little sleepy today and “kind of out of it,” but otherwise seems to feel pretty good.
Here’s something to think about: After Kristina gets out of the hospital, she will need full-time caregiving at home. She has hired a pro for five days a week and has saved weekends for friends to volunteer.
A good friend named Kristin is running the caregiving sign-up operation, and soon there will be an online calendar for people to sign up. Meanwhile, if you think you could put in a 24-hour shift at Kristina’s place some weekend, or if you just want some more info about it, please get in touch with Kristin at polarbare49@hotmail.com.
Here are today’s numbers, which are headed down:
WBC: 2.95 – yesterday was 3.65 – normal is 4.3 to 10
HCT: 30 – yesterday was 29 – normal is 36 to 45
ANC: 2.27 – yesterday was 3.32 – normal is 1.8 to 7
PLT: 59 – yesterday was 65 – normal is 150 to 400
By the way, like the new layout? Kristina chose it herself!
