Sunday, Day 17 after transplant

Sunday was a day of continued improvement. Christi sipped iced tea, and was able to drink a little chicken soup. She was even able to drink some Dr. Pepper which is probably the best indicator yet that the white blood cells are attacking the throat sores. Blood counts continued to climb again today with her white blood count doubling to a whopping 2.4 (almost 20% of the low normal range). Penny (sister-in-law) stayed Saturday night, all day today, and will stay through tomorrow evening when Marcia takes the next shift. Penny said Christi had a good day, but she is not looking forward to another bone marrow biopsy and MRI that will probably be scheduled for Monday.

  1. This sounds very positive and God is answering our prayers! We are so glad that Melba and Layton are going to go ahead with their trip - They need some R&R and we pray they will have a safe, restful, FUN trip! We are praying HARD that Christi's blood count will continue to climb and she will be eating Mexican food in no time! Love and prayers, Debbie & Larry Ellsworth
