Things continue to look great here with me at Beth Israel. My blood counts have steadily risen. The plan right now is for me to be discharged on Monday April 13. Now this is contingent upon no fevers or infections between now and then. So focus those prayer efforts:)
The one bedroom apartments are just a street away You can see the clinic entrance from the entrance to the Shapiro center clinic. For those of you who have been in the area, they are on the top floors of the building with the CVS (photo below courtesy of Jim :)
I'll be visiting the clinic everyday and while I am well enough to leave the hospital they keep all their patients close right after the transplant. My stay there should be 2 weeks. Then home!
My Mom and Kate will keep me company at the apartments with Kate taking first shift next week. Thank goodness for them.
That's it for now. Thanks for checking in
Love Maureen
Maureen was admitted to Beth Israel Deaconess in Boston MA 12/16/14 with Acute Myloid Leukemia. She underwent two rounds of high intensity chemo followed by a transplant March 19, 2015. The leukemia was in remission for several months but returned late August '15. Since then Maureen has had several different types of treatment both as an inpatient and outpatient. Currently Maureen is in the hospital (10/17) receiving two different chemo regimens. She hopes to go home soon.
