Another good day at the clinic. Counts continue to improve, platelets were up to 25 today. All of Peter's counts are now higher than they were on July 20 when we discovered there might be a problem during a regular checkup. He generally feels good, but tires easily. Had some indigestion today but nothing to be concerned about.
Peter talked with Dr. Horwitz about the clinical trial and they decided to proceed. Providing all continues to go well, and they can find an appropriate donor, the transplant would probably take place sometime the week after Christmas. This would still keep us on track to return to Wilmington. If all works well, this should give his immune system a big push and really speed up his recovery.
The plan for tomorrow, as told to me by Peter, is to get up, have oatmeal for breakfast and then get dressed and head to the mall early to get some walking in and maybe some shopping. Need to try to beat the crowds. After the mall, we will just play it by ear as to what to do for the rest of the day.
