A Molehill That Is A Mountain

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 . . .?

Jello and soup...so tasty!! Glad to hear that the results are looking postive and that you're feeling better. We'll keep praying for continued healing and strength.

Love,

Steph
