Onward and Upward

It has been two weeks since the transplant, and today, I am proud to say that I have an ANC of 500! It is amazing how much a few white cells will help. My mouth sores are almost completely gone, it's crazy. If my ANC stays at 500 tomorrow, then that means I have officially engrafted. Now begins the long road of keeping my body healthy and strong, and rebuilding. I know the road isn't over but it sure helps to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I feel so blessed to have the family that I have, and all of the support. Thank you all, for the prayers and support I honestly can't thank you enough.

    What great timing, with this week being Thanksgiving. There is so much to be thankful for, the demise of mouth sores being at the top of the list. And have I mentioned how grateful I am for your mother? She is such a dear friend. We went to Adam's concert tonight and it was fabulous. What a wonderful family you have. Too many blessings to count! Love you!
