On the move!

Those blood cells are on the move! Monday and again today Andrew's labs showed increased platelet numbers, indicating that the cells are starting to proliferate. White cells were up slightly too today but still too low to get too excited. The red cells are last to engraft and so Andrew had another transfusion. Fatigue is Andrew's biggest issue, no other nasty graft vs host issues or anything ... so things are going well. He is also chronically low on magnesium (I think this is due to the drugs he has to take) so gets an infusion of those each visit. Day off from Stanford tomorrow and back early Friday morning.
I did the Nike Women's Marathon with friends in San Francisco on Sunday. This event raises money for the leukemia/lymphoma society. Met lots of "team in training" friends running (in the rain) -  all doing this "for Andrew" and others fighting blood cancer - so encouraging and inspiring.
