YO YO MAhn

I got a call from the Transplant center yesterday with the results of last Thursday's bloodwork and it seems that things have significantly improved. When they initially discovered the CMV present in my blood, the IgG titer levels were at 64,000  ("normal" is between 250-500) and so they were a just little bit concerned.
As of last Thursday my level had dropped to 1000. 
My white blood cell count was back up to 3.6 (normal is 4-11.)

So the decision to treat this problem with the large dose of oral meds was indeed a brilliant move.    Ahem.

They are having me come back to clinic again this Thursday for more major testing.
As I've told some of you - the tx center folks are always telling me that my white blood count is low....
my red count is low.....my H&H is low....
I told them:  "I'm just down about a quart! 
If we could ease up on all of these blood tests things would surely rebound!"

It might be awhile until they let me prove this theory to them.

Thanks for checking here.
