Day +10 : Amazing Blood Results!
November 2, 2024
More good signs today, I’m rejoicing.
Sleep : Brilliant sleep at last. 7 hours deep rest, what a blessing.
Energy : Very calm, peaceful, heart open to God and others, mind in dream/imagine mode often. Over the last days I’ve been emotional, especially around expressions of kindness from God and people – I’ve had proper tears that you need a tissue for!
Blood Results
Amazing Blood Results Today!
The kidneys ALL CLEAR for second day in a row (urea, creatinine and e-GFR all in range…e-GFR 77 🤸♂️). What an answer to prayer!
Red cells UP, Haemoglobin 9.0 up from 8.8 yesterday 🌟 🩸
Platelets going UP – 20 today, from 7 yesterday.
Total White Cells really moving : 0.68 today up from 0.19 yesterday…more than double improvement.
Infection Markers Down
59 today – PHEW! Feel GREAT 🫶🌟❤️
My worst day, wed 30th, I was at 381…as of this morning, back down to 59…en route to base camp at less than 5. Wow, that was a roller coaster! 🎢
Neutrophils … not yet available from the lab…this all comes super-hot off the press 😱🤣. But this is is the key number to watch. It’s a primary immune-strength indicator and is one of the key items they will assess to see how long in need to stay in for. Yesterday was 0.05…needing to get to 2.
This is all going the right way for potential discharge from hosptial if we keep up this momentum.
Physio
I had my second session of physio yesterday doing basic exercises with Resistance Bands…good fun and a sign that they are getting me back ready for the real world🥳
Joel & Kim
Seeing Joel and Kimberley for a brief visit again this afternoon which is also such a huge blessing.
That’s it for now.
In terms of PRAYER, my THANKSGIVING is around the apparent strength with which re-engraftment is taking place. This can’t be taken for granted and seems to be going well for me. I’m SO THANKFUL for this and for growing potential of starting to build momentum forward into new dimensions in what may be ahead.
Prayer and Thanksgiving also for my organs and overall physical, memorial, emotional, spiritual fitness.
Huge love and thanks,
Scott
