Day +11

Dear world, thank you for not only listening but hearing me... Georgia has an ANC of 380! Last night before she went to bed I played some music for her as I got ready for bed.. I looked over and saw her do her little wiggle dance... I didn't know you were doing the ANC dance Georgia.. it worked!
Today has been busy, Georgia got platelets again this morning, a dose of lasix after that to hopefully release some of the fluids that she is retaining and we're about to start IVIG which will infuse over a minimum of 4 hours pending no reaction like last time. Tonight she'll get red blood cells that will also take about 4 hours to infuse.
Georgia is still really tired and isn't feeling great but it seems like we are rounding the bend. She will be considered engrafted once her ANC has been 500+ for 3 days. Next hurdle is looking for signs of GVHD, as her new bone marrow wakes up in its new home the expectation is that it will recognize that it is in a new place but we think that once it has an opportunity to look around that marrow will be saying home sweet home.
When you think of Georgia during this next phase envision her new and old systems working together in perfect harmony for optimum health.. now and forever after.
