Tuesday July 23rd, 2013

Good afternoon everyone,

Jenn is having another good day today, she met with the doctors and her Bilirubin is down to 3.6 from over 19+ this past weekend.  They need the counts to get down to 1.5 or so, but they are very hopeful that we will achieve that number by this upcoming weekend.

Jenn is starting to eat more regularly as well.  Today she had an orange that didn't agree with her, but then she ate some honey nut Cheerios today and those seemed to settle just fine.  She also inhaled a cookie that was sent to her from the awesome folks at SYNNEX.  We just got done taking our daily walk and Jenn did 6 laps!!!  Her previous best was only 4 laps; so 6 is incredible!

We also spoke with one of the doctors about Jenn possibly getting out of here in a week or so, before the bone marrow transplant starts.  As long as Jenn reaches .5 white blood cell count, they will release her to my sisters house, so we are all praying for that. 

Special thanks to everyone at SYNNEX who sent the care package, Jenn already devoured that cookie and she absolutely loves the stuffed teddy bear.  :)

Not too much more to update everyone on, but I will say this is by far the best day Jenn has had to date, so that makes us all VERY HAPPY!

Much love from room 5409!
