Yesterday was totally different from Day 6. I had to have platelets transfused because my platelet fell to 5! I also had potassium and antibiotics. I also had a chest x-ray to make sure there isn’t anything growing in my lungs! So it was a long day! I had a slight reaction to the platelets so I received Benadryl and then I was really tired and sleepy. Today though, day 8, I only needed potassium and the antibiotics. All my blood cells have dropped which is expected. My hemoglobin is coming down now too so maybe tomorrow I well get blood. I am feeling tired but other than that I am hanging tough! It gets kind of boring waiting for the cells to engraft and because I have no white cells to protect from infection, I go to the clinic and back to the apartment!! Have to stay away from potential infections. I read a lot and watch TV! Exciting! 
I won’t complain because I don’t want to get sick! I still have several weeks before I engraft! Even then I will still be on immunosuppressant medicine (Cellcept is what it is called),that will make me susceptible to infection. My dear daughter is my caregiver this week and she is doing a good job! She cooked a full meal last night for me which is a big undertaking for her!! She makes sure I get to the clinic on time each day because I don’t like getting up!! I again thank everyone for all prayers being sent up for me! I know they are being answered. Until tomorrow be blessed!
