14 days post transplant

Don's energy is starting to improve, put his patience with recovery is declining. I can't say that I blame him. The white count is slowly recovering (VERY slowly). He was 0.65 k/uL this morning. His platelets are increasing, as well. His hemoglobin was 9.9 M/uL this morning, so he will get procrit tomorrow. The orthostatic changes have continued, with a little improvement each day. He is still getting a liter of saline IV every morning. We are hopeful that we will be able to go home early next week. I wish I could be like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz and click my heels together and say "There's no place like home"..... Unfortunately I left my ruby slippers at home.
