Numbers are dropping... but still some good news

Stefan's wbc dropped to 0.1 yesterday (Mon, Jan 30) but rose back to 0.2 this morning.

However, his platelets dropped and he has received an IV bag of platelets. If his hemoglobin drops (it's now 8.8), then he will also receive whole blood today.

Despite the low numbers, Dr. Olga Frankfurt is still optimistic and expects that Stefan could be going home on day 10 (the transplant was day 0). So that means by Friday, if his wbc is over 1.0 and his other numbers look good, Stefan could be heading home! YAY!

Just thought I'd pass the info along...
