0% blasts means that the chemo worked. It killed the leukemia cells. But full remission requires also that my blood counts rise to normal before I am discharged - ideally in 7-10 days or less. (I'm rooting for less. I want OUT).
Consolidation chemotherapy (round) two is more of what I'm going through and with higher doses. They want to make SURE I'm in remission.
Onward!

I know what you mean about wanting OUT. Having stayed in the room with my son, Ryland, during his spine surgery, I know for a fact that there is NO SLEEPING going on in any hospital anywhere. Good solid, REM sleep is SOOO important - and especialy so for the healing of the body. May you return to your own pillow and blankie ASAP.
Love & Blessings,
Susan
Hey Diane:
I'm here watching helplessly on the sidelines, trying to keep up with the blogs, my mouth gaping wider and wider. What a journey it is! Can't say I've been there, but I can verify that lack of sleep sucks, even at home. I love the drugs that make me relax and stop worrying into the wee hours that people in my life are going down on all sides, and I could be next. This is like a gruelling audition: I'm just out here dancing as fast as I can, praying to see you up and dancing again soon. It seems like just yesterday I got your outlet shopping tips and was looking forward to getting together again. Sorry for the lengthy detour...

Hey, Diane ... I'm reading your blog about your road trip ... did you ever meet the person whose dusty car window was the site of shared messages, starting with your "Welcome to Callie!"?
Still holding the high watch ... sending smiles and pat-pat-pats ...
Hi, Diane.
I'm caught up at long last.
I've been in some emotional and physical roller coasters. I found out first-hand about the astonishingly nonrestful atmosphere in a hospital last February when my gall bladder came out.
During many crazy times when I didn't know which way was up, somehow the Lord got me through to the other end. I know He will do the same for you. I'm so glad we have Him to cling to no matter what!
Big cyberhug for whenever you want it and much, much love,
Lorri
