Journal entry by JOANNE GOERLER

Hello Friends!
It's been quite a while! 

After a handful of visits to the day hospital to monitor my blood counts, my counts finally seem to  have leveled off and are actually climbing!  On Friday,10/25, they told me that I was steady enough to go home!  It was wonderful  to hear!  There's nothing like sleeping in your own bed!

We went back to hospital on Monday for a routine check up and the results of last week's bone marrow biopsy came in.  There is no sign of any cancerous cells in my marrow!  What a blessing!  They are waiting on the results of a test that will determine the percentage  of donor cells vs. my own.  Hopefully, it will show all donor cells!  We go back on Thursday for more bloodwork.  Maybe they'll knock me down to one day a week.

Thank you for the cards, texts, calls food and gifts!  I'm sorry if I haven't thanked you personally, but time has gotten away from me!  I'm not quite up to visitors yet - still taking naps - but should be within the next couple of weeks!  Thank you for your love and support!
