Yes, my friends -- this is a milestone worth celebrating! Two days in a row means this is not just a fluke but honest-to-goodness bone marrow growth. Her white cell count is now 0.3. It must be over 2.0 to be discharged, so we have a ways to go. But maybe by Monday, if all continues to go well. Gabrielle and I attended the "Discharge Class" this afternoon to learn all we need to know to help Gabrielle survive the germy outside world. And I am in the process of certifying to take care of her catheter properly. Can you tell GAbrielle is getting anxious to get out of here?! As wonderful at this hospital is, she can hardly wait because her boys can visit her while she is in the isolation apartment, and she MISSES HER BOYS! Today she felt good almost all day long and had a wonderful visit from her dear friend Stephanie who brought her a bag filled with scarves and hats to add to her new and exciting head wardrobe:) Who knew there were so many great thnings one can do wih head coverings?!
We were hoping to get an eagle-view of Tropical Storm Dolly as it blew through Houston, but all we got was lots of clouds and smattering of rain. Not that exciting for us, but probably a relief to everyone else outside.
Thank you all so very, very much for your prayers!
Wishing you a wonderful Tuesday night-- Christie
