So......I was a bit reticent in not posting that, in fact, after I became the $12,000.00 man, my white blood count (WBC) did rebound to a whopping 4.6 but as of the latest blood labs on Thursday it has again fallen to below normal.
And again, they tell me this translates as very little immune system. I received a call from the tx center late this afternoon and they want me to come up to Pinnacle first thing Monday morning to have stat blood labs drawn, then come to clinic so they can check me out and perhaps give me another shot of Neupogen.
Low WBC's are not all that uncommon 4-6 months post transplant, as your body tries to adjust to new organs and at the same time puts up with and adjusts to the myriad of drugs that you need to ingest at least twice a day.
And so I'll see what Monday brings.
I already told my post transplant coordinator that spending Christmas in the hospital is not even an option.
Stay tuned.
I'll let you know what I find out.
Thanks for checking here.
