Day +13, Engraftment
Jeanne's new stem cells have engrafted into her bone marrow and have started producing cells. Her counts have climbed pretty dramatically, and the production in her marrow has cause a lot of bone pain. She is very tired, and in preperation for her being allowed to come home they have discontinued many of her IV medications. She also rode on the exersize bike for a little while this evening.

Jeanne, happened to run across your blog while browsing blogger.com. My husband had a BMT in November 1998 and has had a complete recovery. He was fortunate enough to have a sister with an almost perfect match.
I wish you the best of luck and a swift recovery.
Great news. We look forward to your returning home. Josina, were you really playing the open up the hanger game? - Pink
Jeanne- You still look great, even without hair. Sorry you're in such pain but as you said, it's good pain. It really sounds like this is working and you'll be feeling like a million dollars before you know it! Can't wait till you get home (and I know you can't wait either.)
Love,
Sue and John
Jeanne,
It's wonderful to see you sitting in bed, and again, with a smile. The call from you last Friday was probably one of the best phone calls I've ever had. I am so happy you will be home soon, and can't wait to visit you. This is such a giant leap in the right direction, and everyone is so happy for you and your entire family. I know there are still many hurdles to climb over, and wouldn't be too shocked with some bumps along this long and winding road you're on.
Rest well when you come home. I will visit only when you're up to it. And, Ms. Spider is looking SPECTACULAR!!!! I can't wait for you to see it, and to put it back in your office where it truly belongs. See you soon.
Hugs,
G
Hi Jeanne, you look marvelous. It is good to see you smiling. Lots of positive energy coming your way. I hope the purple shoes found their way to you too. I thought you might enjoy them. Keep the faith, DebW
Just want to say hi. Good to see you eating well ( on the pic) we miss you and look forward to having you back.
