White Cells Begin to Climb

Early this morning my nurse leaned down to tell me that my white blood cells had grown for the first time since receiving my stem cells. I have also been maintaining a more of a stable fever. While it isn’t good to have a fever it is better to have a low grade one rather than a high one. Starting yesterday, I have begun the process off feeling better.

Thanks for your prayers,
Nathan

PS: It is so good to see Nathan’s white blood count begin to rise. It is at 0.2 today, the first sign that the bone marrow is beginning to make good cells once again. This is important for Nathan’s healing of the sores in his mouth, throat and stomach. Nathan also ate yogurt last night, the first time he ate anything for five days. He also ate yogurt for breakfast this morning. These are all positive signs that Nathan’s body is beginning to heal following his chemotherapy. The sun is shinning bright in our window this morning, reminding us of God’s love that surrounds us here in the hospital.
