T + 27

Well Annette's blood counts continue to improve, her platelets are up to 146 just 4 shy of 'normal' - that's exciting because her low platelets where the harbinger of her MDS. Our appointment on Friday (T+25) went well, though the nausea is still hanging around and causing issues. She hasn't been eating very well lately because of the nausea and she's struggling to get enough nutrients.  The BMT staff believes it may be residual effects from the chemo or the number of medicines she's on, they're not ready to call it GVHD but it's something they'll keep close tabs on.  Having such a close match with her brother we're hoping if there is some GVHD that it's minimal. On Wednesday the 17'th we'll hit T+30 which is a mini-milestone and for us it means we won't have to stay so close to the hospital. Barring any unforeseen circumstances we'll be home next weekend.
