December 6th- Day+19

Today has been a great day! The Dr's came in this morning and told us that my white count is at 700 and my ANC is at 300. I am so excited. They said it might go back down and come back up but it might just go up. Mom asked the Dr's how they know when the engraftment has taken place and they said that if my ANC stays at 500 for two days the 1st of the two days will be the engraftment day (if that makes any sense). So we are hoping that I will reach that in the next few days! So Irish the nurse, Grandma & Grandpa Hansen & Mom are in the running for the bet on the engraftment day so we will see. I feel so good today I have been up and playing and having fun. I just have to eat, but I do not have an appetite. Well thanks for everything.

Love Trent

Yippeee!! So glad you're feeling better, and that your counts are actually behaving themselves! You ought to start a poll over on the side bar for when the engraftment day will be.

Trent,
It is so good to hear that you are feeling better!!! Thanks for passing on the great news about your numbers! We all will be praying for you that 500 number will come soon and stick around for a couple of days! This truly will be a wonderful Christmas season for all who love and care about you to see and hear that you have received the gift of engraftment. This will be a Christmas never to be forgotten! Keep fighting hard! Love, Shelli

Trent,
It sounds like things are going really well. I'm glad you feel better,hopefully no more throwing up...that's the worst. Do you think you might be home for Christmas? I can't believe it has already been 19 days since your transplant. What are you asking for Christmas from Santa? You already got the coolest gift of all but little boys still need toys don't they. I hope you keep feeling good and Talon says a great big HI!!! Trisha

One nurse said she new a little kid who engrafted at day 30. So I hope I engraft soon!!!!! I want the Lego Castle set and an air soft gun. I can't wait to go outside & shoot Brad & Dad!!!!! What does Talon want for Christmas? Are all the kids playing basketball this year? Hope they have fun!!! Well talk you later. Tell the kids Hi for me.

Hello, I am glad your Thanksgiving went well. Why did your Grandma Tyler go to Arizona? Is she visiting your brother? She sounds like she likes it there!!! You are so lucky you get to watch her dog. Are you going crazy yet? I am sorry it is hard this year to get into the Christmas spirit but it will come and you will have a blast!! How is the hair cuts for your boys going? How is your hair? Hope all is well. Talk to you later.
