Then as it was.....

So I've heard from a couple people who think that maybe the thrill is gone after four months since the anniversary of my transplant came and went on Monday without me publicly making mention of it here.
Rest assured, the second of each month still gives me reason to pause to reflect on what was going on at certain hours of that day and to appreciate all the progress that I've made since.

I didn't forget to post on the 2nd, it was just that I was waiting to see what I was told at clinic today.
I had my usual blood labs drawn at 7:30 am on Monday and by noon the transplant center was on the phone telling me that my white blood cell count (WBC) had really tanked.
The normal range is 4 - 11
Two weeks ago mine was 3.1
Monday it was 1.6
Today it is .8

This has them a bit concerned and so they have completely stopped two of my meds, started me on another antibiotic, and are having me return to Harrisburg again tomorrow for another round of stat blood labs to see if it has fallen any further and also to get an injection of  a drug called neupogen.
Low white blood counts leave the body open for all sorts of infection and my transplant coordinator warned me that if the bloodlabs tomorrow show that my WBC has continued to fall that I will be admitted
on-the-spot for more intensive treatment.

Argh.

I seriously hope I'm not posting from the sixth floor at Pinnacle tomorrow at this time.

Thanks for checking here.
