Things still look good for me to go home tomorrow. All of the doctors who see me daily are in agreement to let me go but they need the final approval from my oncologist. The plan is to do a platelet transfusion around 4 am this morning to bring my counts up over 50,000 so they are high enough to insert the catheter that I need for the stem cell harvesting. I’m not allowed to eat anything after midnight so it’s a good thing I actually ate two dinners tonight and I have a big chunk of leftover cheesecake from Irene visiting last night. This cheesecake might have to hold me over until lunch time or later tomorrow.

Heather came down today and we had a very inspiring conversation. Thank you Heather! My dad also came and brought sushi which Holly and I ate for my late dinner tonight. I also have to send a special thank you to Zach, a friend of Ty’s, whose mom emailed two beautiful drawings that he thought I would like. When Gigi came to visit she also brought drawings that the children in her class had done for me. All I can say is that I am a very lucky girl to be blessed with so much love from so many people.

Let’s hope that my post tomorrow is written from home – and that the Ravens beat the Jets
