DOCTORS ARE RELEASING ME TO GO TO THE APARTMENT TOMORROW, JUNE 10TH!
Can't tell you how happy I am. I'm hoping I will stay at the apartment for only a week and be able to go home.
Doctors are so pleased with my recovery. My white cell count went up to 5.1 and most importantly my body is making its own platelets. This does not occur for weeks after most stem cell transplants. I have made it over the hill and I'm on my way to recovery.
So tomorrow Mark and Mom will be here early at 9:00AM to meet with the doctors to review my care instructions. I will have to go to the ITA (Infusion Treatment Area) each day for daily blood draws and infusions, if necessary. Once I am released from the ITA I will be able to go home. From then on I will be seen by the Bone Marrow Clinic once a week until being sent back to Kaiser for future treatment.
I cried when the doctors told me I could go home. They even had tears in their eyes. It is a moment I will never forget! A moment that took my breath away.
Hope to see everyone soon.
Love,
Debbie
