My white blood cell count this morning is 0.6. My stem cells have found their way to the bone marrow and have begun to produce cells, cells which are naive to the idea that anything is the enemy, let alone that collagen is the enemy. So, I am relieved, excited, and feeling much better!
Dr. Burt reminded me this morning that it is the beginning of a long recovery. He said I will feel better in 6 months, better in a year, and see full results in 2 years. I don't know exactly how far this will take me to a full recovery, but I am so eager to get there!
Your love, posts, support, texts, calls, emails, and prayers have meant the world to me. Thank you!
