Bone Marrow 101--uh...make that 91

Big week!  Daddy comes tomorrow, Mallory and the grandkids on Wednesday.  The question of the week though is when will Kaitlyn's blood cells bump up?

Just to review, once a chemo-interrupted bone marrow starts producing again it generally goes white blood cells first, red blood cells next, and finally platelets.

This morning's labs show a small increase in Kaitlyn's red blood cells which probably means that the white blood cells are also in production, but are racing around repairing chemo damage in which they must give their lives in the line of duty so they don't show up in the lab results yet.

The point is:  Kaitlyn's bone marrow has started producing blood cells again!  We are down to the last few DAYS!  Woohoo!
