Michelle had her blood draw this morning and the white count had gone up to 8.2 from the 2.16 of yesterday. That was good news! As a result they did another blood draw after we got done meeting with the nurse for her vitals. This was to do another kind of a check - don't ask me what - it was Greek to us. Anyway, before we left we had a visit from Jenny Giles who goes to a Covenant church on Capitol Hill - her husband had a chronic leukemia back in 1999 and while they lived here (from Arkansas) the van taking them from the Pete Gross House where they stayed - to the grocery store, went by the Covenant church and they ended up at that church. Anyway, when Tricia's boss contacted the church pastor, Jenny stepped forward to contact me - thought she might know of a place near Virginia Mason for us to stay - she didn't but had other tips for us. She knit a beautiful shawl for Michelle and delivered it last Tuesday to the Cancer Center and then drove over from her place on Magnolia to visit us.
In the afternoon Michelle got a call from SCCA to say that with the 8.2 white count and whatever they found in the extra blood draw told them it is time for the apheresis tomorrow morning. We have to be there at 8:30 for blood draw and then harvesting. The gal told Michelle it will be 3 hours, but we will have to stick around for further report later in the day to get the 'for sure' you're done report. So we could be home by tomorrow night! She has had headache today although not really horrific - she takes the prescription stuff right away to keep it at bay.
