This morning the nurse brought in a big smile with her piece of paper. Big circles rounded the numbers and on the side it said "Love, Lisa and Tammy." Lisa has been the night nurse and Tammy, the day. Circled were Jim's counts today; Platelets 72; Hematocrit 28; Neutrophils 500; monocites 10. So when the Dr. came in, she made it official--the counts say Jim is engrafting.
The pneumonia has continued to improve and no fevers since last Monday morning. Dr. Asch says they will begin taking him off one antibiotic at a time and that by Tues (Wed, if you know how they work around here) if all continues to go well we will be on our way home.
Jim continues to experience a great deal of pain in his bones as the marrow does "its thing." We are so grateful for all the many prayers that ascend daily to our Father in Heaven in his behalf.
