I just need one more blood draw on May 30 2012 with a high WBC and ANC and it will be official that I have Engrafted.


Lindsey McMenimen, RN came to do the discharge teaching with Jani and I. I will be discharged about 2 PM tomorrow, May 30 2012 to the hotel near the hospital. Will be nearly 80 degrees outside and Jani brought my shorts for me wear! ~


Tomorrow, Katie, the nutritionist will come to teach us the diet restrictions post ASCT. 

 Jani designed and ordered a new Mackay, Idaho TShirt for me. I love it!
