It is starting to look like Nadia is going longer between platelet (PLT) transfusions. Also, yesterday morning Nadia’s red blood cells (Hgb) went up (but went down a bit again today). These are all good signs that maybe her marrow is doing a bit of work. We are still waiting for the white cells (WBC) go up. For a refresher on what these things mean, see Day +3 post.

Our Day +17 post was about how bathtime works in a BMT isolation room, and we lamented our missing ducky. Well, a friend of a friend (the kindness of strangers!!) gave us one of their duckies! Nadia was soooo happy. Thank you Lucy (and Leigh and Colin) 🙂 . Nadia is a very lucky-ducky girl!
