Jimmy's WBC was 1.0 this morning, and things are looking up. Last transplant he got Neupogen (growth factor) shots, and his counts jumped up more quickly, but they're coming up just fine on their own this time. (4500 - 10,000 white blood cells per microliter is considered normal. This morning Jimmy had 1000, but, hey, it's a start.)
Jimmy had a good day. He telephoned in to a two hour bank meeting this morning, then Jamey spent the afternoon with him while I took a break, and they talked business. Jimmy's mind is sharp, and I expect his recovery to move more rapidly this time. We may get to go back to the apartment tomorrow!
