On Saturday, Joy was given Nupigen, a drug that aids in the production of new blood cells. Today, doctors found a few new white blood cells and Neutrophils, both signs that the transplant is working. As Ken put it, "tiny progress shows the process of the transplant has started." :)
On another front, Joy got to eat her first non-intravenous meal in weeks since the ulcers in her esophagus are finally healing--jello and soup. Mmmm . . .?
