He has the beginning of mouth sores and the runs but is basically OK. They've started to track his white blood count which has fallen to .7. It should hit zero in the next few days and then start to rise. To that end they're starting to give him the same Nupogen shots I gave him before his harvest to stimulate the new growth.
Despite all the "toys" he brought with him to the hospital, we're both getting a little stir crazy. We've been here a week; (though it feels like more!); one more (or so) to go.
At the support group yesterday, I heard more transplant stories and realized how wildly different every one's reactions are. What most people have in common, though, is significant time post transplant chemo free. It'll be worth it.
