Day +1

Sorry for the late update; our little patient was up until 11:30 last night and Daddy fell asleep in the chair. Day +1 was very, very nice. All the cells she got gave her a huge bump in her red blood counts, from 8.3 g/dL to 14.5. So she had lots of energy yesterday, and probably won't need a blood transfusion for several days now. She played with Grandma Lyn most of the day, and when I got back to the room about 7, we ran around and danced on the floor for quite a while. She probably had more energy yesterday than she has in a week.

Her white counts, on the other hand, are now zero across the board, so infection becomes a real risk. She'll slowly start feeling the effects of the radiation as well, so we're savoring these nice days, in between trying to get the apartment squared away. Keri woke up yesterday realizing Mina Brigitta could be ready to come home in three weeks, and there is a ton of stuff to do in the apartment before then. Yesterday we discovered that water leaks out of the washing machine, so getting a new one will be one of the first things on the list.
