NAPS & ENGRAFTMENT








I am still at the hospital with Sarah. she is taking a nap right now. The drugs that they have her on make her sigh and talk in her sleep... it is the cutest thing, right now she is saying "you wanna watch this?" "sigh" "what is that?" "sigh" "chelsea?" "sigh"... she says everything in question form, once she said my name it made me so happy! She's dreaming about me:o) I have always told everyone that I have never had a dream without Sarah in it, we are as one in my dreams, she is always by my side... for her to say my name while she is sleeping just confirmed that I am with her as well.







She started to feel a lot better after this morning past, doctor Peterson and the nurse practitioner Amity came in and told us that her neutrophils are at a 6... just yesterday they were at a 2... Neutrophils: are the most abundant type of white blood cells in humans and form an integral part of the immune system. The docs are so impressed with Sarah, she is improving so quickly. The doctors also said that if she stays above a 5,that means she has reached engraftment. and if her rash mellows out, she starts to eat, and her temp does not rise then she should be able to go home in 4-5 days... now this isn't certain, nothing ever is so don't get too excited... but we are keeping our fingers crossed!!!
