Things are looking up..

My labs are improving. My wbc is now 5.6, plts 39, hbg 8.4. My stemcells are all set to be harvested as soon as infection is cleared up. Hopefully tomorrow. Keep praying for me. : ) I found out there is a problem with the internet connection signal in my room . So I am now sitting in the hall outside of my room next to 4 fish aquarium tanks. It is nice and tranquil here.
Since I posted earlier today I have found out I can connect to the internet right outside my door on a computer desk they have there. I don't have to drag my chair so far. : )
I just discovered that my hair is starting to fall out. : ( It has been 11 days since I received my cytoxan. A word of caution to anyone receving their first chemo- drinking plenty of fluids is essential. I drank all the required fluids the day before and the day after and then I stopped counting and on top of that I felt some nausea. That is what put me in the hospital-dehydration, renal failure and sepsis. Everything is resolving good at this point.

Don't worry Mom, everything is going to work out fine. Things will all fall into place...I can feel it. As far as your hair is concerned, you are beautiful with or without it. You are awesome!
Love, Steve
