Day -9 & -10

Day -9

Believe it or not Jack ANC level went up today. I really don't get it, I'm assuming that his levels would continue to keep going down with all the chemo he is getting, but they say we will see the levels going up and down.

Tomorrow (saturday) will be his last day of the first part of the chemo. Sunday will be his day of rest and then Monday the big guns start. I'm so thankful he is doing as well as he is. All of our prayers are being answered so keep them going. Thank you all.

Day -10

Jacks ANC level (Absolute Nutrifil Count) has gone down. Which is the sign that his immune system is starting to get wiped out. He is still driving me nuts so thankfully the effects of the chemo hasn't bothered him in any way. Nothing very important to pass along other than we're both enjoying ourselves, watching movies, coloring, reading books and most of all quality time. But missing everyone at home, especially Christina.

FYI

All this time we have been telling everyone that Jack is getting a "stem cell" transplant but he is actually getting a "bone marrow" transplant. Basically the differnce between them is the term used in how the cells have been harvested from the donor.
