Have your numbers dropped any?

Good question...They had hisen above 4000. But after the 9 hour treatment (Im in the midst of another right now) My numbers did drop! It wasn't substantial but they dropped. So we are hoping for the same tomorrow morning. If things are looking good and they sort out my anxiety medications, then:i.will.go.home.tomorrow. (Once again!)

By the way. I have a channel on Youtube if any one is every lingering on that site bored and out of your mind. Lots of random, sometimes fun, sometimes somber videos there.

UPDATE: Yesterday was HORRIBLE and I have no idea what tomorrow will bring. They had me scheduled to be discharged from the hospital Wednesday morning which really means afternoon because they have tons of paper work to process first.

So, as time grows near and transport is called to roll me away, a doc screams "Wait! We can not discharge him. He needs to stay admitted. We will begin plasma-...something treatment tonight." (Which was NEWS for me...I only knew that it was a ten day process very similar to dialysis where they install a catheter into your neck and pump blood out of your body filtering for antibodies and then pumping it back in.

My whole world was crushed. The polycarbonate roof to my coop had been completed and I wanted nothing more than to hang out in the backyard. I nearly exploded.

I walked away and had a team of people following me. I continued walking until I was alone, I sat on the ground, and cried.

When I returned we sorta negotiated. I was allowed to spend a night at home. I have to be back by 8:30 am. The catheter gets installed tomorrow. And we shall see where it goes from there....

There is no protocol for what is happening to my body. We only know that it is rare.

*deep sighs*
