4.9!!!!
Neupogen shots the last two days probably helped, but Jimmy's WBC has jumped to an incredible 4.9 since yesterday! Although a return to a normal immune system takes months and months, it is a tremendous relief that his body is rebounding so quickly. His platelets are still low, only 6000, but those are typically slower to come back, and Jimmy is getting a transfusion of them right now. It's expected that he will need additional blood and platelets over the next week or so, but in general, he's doing very, very well, and now he's pushing to move back to the apartment.

We have been holding our breaths. What great hopeful news. The strength Jimmy has sustained through this battle is amazing. You, Ellen, are his mainstay. Put those lovely thoughts of Abaco into Jimmy's head to cool that fever. My hope is that you can move into that apartment, but not sooner than it is safe to do so.
Our love and strong thoughts.
