Hello!
We are home earlier than expected today. My Bronch. had to be post-poned because my white blood cell count is extremely low and doing the procedure would have put me at risk for developing pneumonia. The doctor prescribed Nupogen which is an injection I give myself for 3 days that should help to regenerate the white cells. We'll see what the numbers look like on my Monday labs and then they will re-schedule me for a day next week, ugh, back to Pittsburgh.
Many of my levels are still off whack and I continue to be pretty anemic which is why I have felt so droopy and tired lately. I am on iron and an injected medication for that as well.
All of my other appointments went well. My ENT said my nose looked beautiful, my Endocrinologist complimented my quick learning of controlling my sugars with my pump, and I had gained 5 lbs which made my Gastroenterologist proud.
Now I am ready to gear up for Easter, I can't believe it is coming on Sunday!
May today be a day of quiet and reflection in preparation for the rising of our Lord. Nancy
You've Been Given the Gift of Life, Give it Back!

Hi Nancy!
So good to hear you are back home and things went well for you in Pittsburgh! I hope you continue to do well and get some of that energy back. Good for you for gaining 5 pounds--that is wonderful!
Wishing you and your beautiful family a very blessed Easter. I hope it is a day full of family, fun, and renewed energy for you. May God continue to bless you!
I love you Nancy!

Bummer about not getting the bronch done! Sorry to hear about that. I hope your WBC pops back up soon. And certainly the anemia and fatigue gets better soon, too!
Awesome on gaining five pounds! WITHOUT a feeding tube?! Amazing. How did you do it?
Keep us posted on when you're returning to Pittsburgh for your tests.
Thinking of you always!
