Brooke's T cells are up to 211, from 91 in September. That is good. They are going in the right direction, I would just like them to speed up the process. 800 is normal. So we are thankful things are heading in the right direction BUT no changes. I asked NUMEROUS questions and didn't get many answers yet. The main thing is this "house arrest." I'm not even sure where I would go, but to be told you CAN'T do something for this long, is a little difficult. Or maybe I'm difficult :) The other thing we will start to monitor are her B cells. We will do that by giving the IVIG every other week and see what her numbers do. I did ask if they for see her having another transplant. And they said, they can't predict the future, but not with in the next year for sure. They said what we are doing now is keeping her healthy and S L O W L Y watching her get better. Steve goes to clinic next week, so his job will be to get out visits down to every other week. My job (that I gave myself:) is to schedule a trip to Florida. I see no reason why we shouldn't go somewhere there is sun and we can be outside. We don't know when we'd be able to go, but we gotta have goals.
This week OT and speech therapies will be done seeing Brooke, maybe physical therapy too. I am ok with this. It's so busy with 3+ people coming in, 1-2 times a week. I need a break. We are going to try and find our "normalcy" back. With Steve being back home it has been such a relief. The next 2 weekends are busy with our nieces birthday and Steve's brother's wedding. We are super excited and can't wait to participate!
One last thing....we did get our van last night. The girls were so excited and couldn't wait to go for a ride. Steve and I are as excited as you can be for a van :) Steve said if it was a sport's car he'd be super excited. But I am excited to have my own vehicle and "move in." Thanks Mom Koeman and Baumann for letting me steal your cars.
We'll pray for a calm week. Maybe we'll all be snowed in :)
