Also, since finding out my sister is not a match, Crystal and I have gotten several questions about how to get a bone marrow test. If you are interested in being tested, please visit the following website. www.dkmsamericas.org. It is a site where you can learn about the bone marrow testing and donating process. You can also sign up to have a test kit sent to your house.
The doctor did say that as soon as my counts hit .50, I would be released. Typically, once you hit .50, they remove you from all antibiotics and then monitor you for another 24 hours to make sure you do not break a fever. My doc has said as soon as I hit .50, I am out the door. :) Paperwork is all done.

Sorry for the little backslide - but forge ahead for tomorrow's counts. We will keep all the roads to Hollis clear so once you get the go-ahead it will be clear sailing to home!!!
Great info on the marrow registry - let's drum up the business!!!
bummer, but it's just a small set back..40 tomorrow?!!!
You will get to .5o!!! Hang in there!
Thanks for the donor info... I signed up!
bummer about your levels... let's hope the decrease in antibiotics does the trick!
let me know if there is anything more i can do in regard to bone marrow donorship... it would be great to be tested specifically for you :) :) My dad asked if he could be tested to be your donor... i had to break the news to him that he is too old:( it was cute that he asked... he's been reading your blog.
Improvement won't be a straight line, but I hope the general direction stays positive. Keep up the good spirits!
