Day +26

Hello all! i havent updated in a while, because, well, there hasnt been much to tell! which in my book is excellent. I had a clinic appt today, and everything looks good, my white count is 3.6, reds and platelets are normal, reds are alittle low. My creatinine is stable, but still high at 1.53. Of course it is Cyclosporine induced, but still nerve racking to know my kidneys are hating this drug so much. Im getting close to bone marrow biopsy time to see how much of "me" is left, and how much my sister is. Hopefully Im almost 100% engrafted and my sister. Its cold here in Nashville, and Im ready to go home. I have to be here till I am at 100 days. I also have no access because of blood clots in both PICC lines I had, so Im on blood thinners. I feel good, Ill update more later!

It's great to hear from you Kara. Your news sounds very encouraging. I've been out of touch and in the hospital too, now diagnosed with MDS, but you're still in my thoughts and prayers.

Kara,
I found your blog and wanted to tell you Congrats, you are doing great. My mom, AML M1, had a SCT in Aug, 2008. This Friday will be day 200. Stay determined, nicole
