results pending...

I know, I know everyone is wondering... what's the news?

Well, here is just a little update to catch you up. Monday, MY doctor drew my bone marrow at 11am and she didn't have trouble getting the vile full but even she wasn't sure that there was enough marrow. She couldn't see as many little particles, that are bone fragments, that she is use to seeing, mostly blood but I can tell you that she was pushing so hard on that needle that she was pushing me down into the bed. I really don't think she could have pushed any harder. Mom said that she was using all of her body to push and that her hand was even shaking because she was pushing so hard. The Fletcher's have strong minds, bodies, souls and bones. lol

The sample was sent out to Seattle, WA for testing and as of today we still don't know if there is enough to test or what the results are, if there is. We are hoping for Wednesday. So while all of this waiting is going on, there is talk of me getting to go home. That in itself is encouraging. All of that paperwork is in place. So it can be this week or in about two weeks from the day we get the results. (of course you have to factor in Hospital Time)

My numbers are...

WBC: 1.4

ANC: .5 (new, see margin for normal)

      these are the 2 most watched numbers that have to climb
RBC: 2.90
Hemoglobin: 9.2
Platelet: 62
Glucose: 152

Here are pix of my room, I want to say thanks to Kent and Laurie, for helping my mom get this room ready for me to come home. Ü
