Hannah's WBC (white blood cell) count is holding at .5 -- such great news!!!!! Her platelet count is not dropping as quickly as it had been a few weeks back-- yesterday her platelet count was 65, today it was in the 50's.
Dr. Horvath looked at Hannah's blood under the microscope & there were some cells. When we came back from NIH, there were almost NO cells so something is starting to happen in the bone marrow!! What an answer to prayer!!! Keep praying for Hannah's bone marrow to come back to it's normal-happy-working-self :-)!!!!
At home this morning we had all of the carpets steam cleaned. Jim is coming to the hospital this afternoon so I can go home to grocery shop & get the house ready FOR HANNAH TO COME HOME TOMORROW!!!!!!!!! Dr. Horvath says that it looks really good for us to bust out of this hospital on Wednesday!!
YEAH ... I am so happy at the thought of all four of us being home!!
