Well, it's almost been two weeks since I've been home. It's been up and down. The first two days or so were good, the next few...not so much. Trying to work out all the medication levels (all 18 of them) has been quite the nightmare on my system. I've been extremely fatigued just like everyone told me I would be, everyday I pray for strength and courage; and everyday does get a little better. Today I had my first bone marrow biopsy since my transplant, so I should know next week if I'm in remission. I've been going to the doctor usually every other day to have blood drawn and to get transfusions of magnesium as mine has been extremely low. My white blood cells have held in range but my platelets are steadily going down right now at 86, not sure if that means much but I guess it's par for the course. On a high note, my babies are coming for Easter! I talk to them via skype almost every night but there's nothing like having your babies in your arms! We'll be going out to Aunt Sherry's house....they love animals and even have a pet duck the kids love so they are very excited! That's really all I have for now and will update more as I feel better.
Love,
Katie
I also want to add a BIG thank you to my sister Kim for getting me out of the house two days this week after I had been in bed for days with not much will to get up. I love you and appreciate you! Also, to Aunt Sherry for coming over for lunch and hanging out while I took a nap (after a long Dr's apt) lol and Kim scrapbooked! I love y'all!
