Bonnie's new phone number: from Michelle
Hey Gib,
Bonnie just called and asked me to get her phone number at the apartment on the blog :
612.929.0629
Most importantly, Bonnie's white count continues to climb!!
She has been out of the hospital 24 hours and has had 2 low-grade fevers, which has reminded her how precarious her situation is.
It is 30 degrees in the morning and Bonnie is "freezing". She has very little body fat and is unable to regulate her body temp yet. Apparently, it is standard Minnesota landlord practice not to turn building heat on until October 15th, which isn't helping Bonnie out. Just a few more days...
Today she had a Bone Marrow Biospy. It is Day 21 after her second transplant so they want to see if there are cells in there. I asked if it was a medical impossibility for there not to be some sort of engraftment if her white blood cells are continuing to rise and she agreed that it is just about certain there has been engraftment. But she will still no doubt feel better when she has the medical proof from the biopsy.
She spent 4 hours at clinic today getting an IV of various electrolytes and will continue to spend 4 hours a day there in the near-future.
The most surprising thing for Bonnie is how tired she is. She thought that she would be out and about town now that she is out of the hospital but she said when she is not at clinic, all she wants to do is sleep. She wasn't expecting to be so tired from "living life".
Mike is under the weather so his trip with the girls may get pushed back a few days. They are scheduled to arrive this Wednesday.
It was so great to hear Bonnie's voice. She sounded tired, but strong. She continues to carry on and inspire.
