A rally day so to speak after my reported step back day. No new activities, same routine, IV supplements, a walk home, snacks, lunch, an outdoor walk and a nap. It fills up my day.

A good scorecard today. Total steps = 6,959, Total miles walked = 2.05 at a 29 minute/mile pace.

Blood scorecard is also good. Total WBC: 3.89, HCT: 36%, Platelets: 97,000, ANC: 1,790.

Having said that the new addition to my scorecard is today we received the results from my day 28 blood testing and on that date 100% of the cells floating around my system are my brothers’s. Yes, you read it correctly 100% meaning at this point the transplant has taken hold. Now these cells refer primarily to the scoreboard of cells above. They do not include any antibodies to viruses which I one reason I am still suffering from the Rhinovirus that has infected me and caused me to lose my hearing as my eustation tubes are plugged. When the doctors tell me my system needs to reconstitute my immunity this is a part of it.

So far so good.
