Day 17

It appears Ellie May is winning the race.  Meb's cells are gone completely.  Lots of Ellie May.  We will know for sure after Day 28 bone marrow.  But I always knew the oldest would winnnnnnnnn.

No counts yet, no raging infections, still in isolation because she coughed and told the doctors.  Auntie Belle told her to keep any toe jam away less they want to culture it.   I think that is good advice.

This seems to be the longest week.  Nothing is really happening and everyone is getting on edge about it.  We are ready to turn the corner but are not quite there.    We both know that around the corner are a whole new set of challenges and dangers but engraftment is the only one we are focused on right now. 

Still folding cranes......

Meditate, take walks, eat mallomars, watch reruns of Project Runway... Do whatever it takes to get through these long days. Don't hesitate to ask for whatever support you want. People are not only happy to help, they feel like they've been given a gift themselves when they are allowed to help. You and MEB are the soldiers on the front lines, we are the home front. ASK.
