We're Back!

Ok, here is a quick run down of the day.  Quick, because we just got home from the clinic at 9:40pm.

4:00am - garbage is picked up just outside our window.  Makes a rooster sound like fun.  ;)

8:00am - visit with the oral doc who said there is "mild signs of GVHD" in Terry's mouth and on his lips.  As he explained things it was so interesting to see what he was talking about and to know that is what it is.  Not really visible unless you are looking for it.

9:15am - lab draw.

10:15am - Team clinic visit.  Didn't really learn anything new, except that the blood counts are lower today (every one of them), making it necessary to come back for a red blood cell transfusion today.

WBC = 0.90(L)
RBC = 2.61(L)
HCT = 25(L) below the magic number, making red cells necessary.
PLT = 45(L)
ANC = 0.42(C)

Creatinine is the lucky winner for the day at 0.98 - excellent for Terry. 

11:00am (we were late because our team visit didn't get done until 11:20 or so) - GI consult to discuss GVHD. 

We made it home for lunch at about 12:30

Emptied a few more boxes and organized a few more things.  Still 3 more boxes and organizing to go.
Received hydration supplies from Coram around 3:30, so we began hydration.

5:30pm - Red blood cells at infusion room.

Walked home in the dark of night.  I borrowed a blanket from the infusion room so I could wrap it around me since I didn't have my coat.  Oh Bother!  It wasn't too bad, except my ears are still cold.  ;)  I feel pretty lucky that it wasn't a terribly cold night.   Entered apartment about 9:40pm. 

PS - saw a car with a 12 flag out each front window and each back window had writing on it.  Drivers side said 12th Man and the passenger side said 12th Woman.  :) 

Good Night!
