March 2nd- Day + 24

Ryan,

Last night when you were falling asleep, you asked me for the Angel that hand on Fred.
It has Alexandria's name on it and you told me you were thinking of her and that she was your angel. Ryan you are so right, she is your Angel.

Daddy, Kayla , Ally, Gern , Carol Ann and Mike had a nice dinner last night at Jack Astor's, Kayla was going to go home with Daddy and ally, but got sad that you were not going to be there.
I told Daddy to tell KK that you will be home before we all know it.. What a day that will be.

Your white counts today are 1.3. Horray!!!!!
The Dr.'s have been in and said that you are taking your time. They are worried that you are not eating yet, but this is also common after transplant. They will be giving you a medicine to stimulate your tummy to want to eat.

You are doing better, but I guess not enough that they think you can sustain your weight.

So counts today:

WBC - 1.3
RBC - 94
PLT -44
POLY's - 0.10 they have gone down. This can happen as it all depends on the sample they get.

When Dr. Gassass came in he said that the poly's went down, but the mono's are coming up and we usually see that before the poly's rise..so he thinks they are on there way up.

It is very cold outside today from what the nurses tell me and you are in a very good mood today.

You have been asking to do your own blood withdrawls and the nurses are letting you help.
I think Dr. Mira was shocked when she came in and saw you pulling back the needle to get your blood out.

Your are sleeping now as I write, as you were up at the crack of dawn this morning.

Sweet Dreams,
Mommy.
