Day +28 - another 100 for our Gracie...

...and after a week of agonzing waiting we learned today that Gracie is 100% engrafted with donor cells!!!! Thank you, Lord!

Her counts are still really good... WBC: 3.0 and Neutrophils: 2.2. Her creatinine levels are down too which is really good and she lost a little more weight today. SHe had kind of a rough night last night though. She woke up a lot and I think its because she didn't get a good enough dose of the Ativan when she went to bed. And unfortunately, she can only get it every 6 hours so we had to make the best of it for a few hours before I felt comfortable enough to give her a little bump of her pain med.

She's been making up for it today with lots of extra sleeping, although she was up and awake enough this morning to do a great session with Speech Therapy before her docs came in with all of our great news! She showed off for them as well and they were really happy to se her feeling good.

We're going to attempt to do some more oral meds starting tonight, so please pray that she transitons into that better with the help of the Ativan. We'll just have to see, but I will definately keep you all posted on our progress as always. :)

Thank you all so much for all of your prayers and good energy... it apparent how well it is working as Gracie improves everyday. We love you all so much and appreciate your constant and unwavering support.

YAY! That is wonderful. I am so happy for you!

Praise the Lord for His favor in Gracie's life.

I was at a fabric store yesterday and I saw a small decorative plaque and it made me think of Gracie. It was cute and springy and said GROW. So happy for you all!
