Autologous Cord Blood (Stem Cell) Transplantation - Day 45
Adrian's Neutrophils was at 0.92 with Platelet at 93 and HGB at 8.8. Docs said Adrian has been recovering well from their perspectives. According to the doc, Adrian would not have been recovered that "quick" if he were to use his own marrow that would have harvested prior to the BMT (instead of his own cord blood) because the quality may not be that good due to the many chemos Adrian had gone through. The plan now is to let Adrian go home this weekend if all goes well!!! On the other hand, we are one of the "lucky" ones who was chosen for a "home visit" next week! What happens is a doctor will bring along a few other medical students to conduct a "home visit" to patients like us, who have gone through treatment over the course of a year and they'd gather info on Adrian, how our home has been transformed to accommodate Adrian and how it affects the entire household. At the end of the day, medical students will have to do a report/presentation after the visit.
