WBC 4.6!!!

You read right! As you know, Leo's WBC has been hovering around 0.6 and 0.7, never going above 1. It's been frustrating for him, as that is the primary sign as to whether the cord blood has engrafted or not. Well when he was at his doctor in Elgin on Friday, they said his WBC had gone up, but we didn't really want to believe it until he went to U of C today. But it was confirmed today that his WBC has certainly gone up a whole lot! He still needed platelets and blood today, but those counts didn't drop nearly as fast as they have been in weeks past. So I think all in all, this is good news! Now he will hopefully start feeling better. He was feeling good this past weekend, as we were able to go out and run some errands, but he still got tired very quickly. He so terribly wanted to watch the Pacquiao fight (go Pacquiao!) on Saturday, but there were so many people watching at my cousins' house that he didn't want to risk picking something up. He will sacrifice and just wait until it shows next weekend and for now, he has to deal with Bernadette's blow-by-blow analysis of the event. Haha....

Thanks to everyone for the positive vibes you're sending our way! Take care!
