Saw Julie the last two days, and she is still hanging in there, but getting very anxious to get out. So to recap, she had her chemo on Thus., and the stem cells were given on 6/4, As of today, her WBC counts haven’t dropped, but and they are expected to any day now. At this point it will get a little rougher, and she won’t be feeling too well for a week or so. This is when they monitor the WBC numbers very closely. The expectation is that he numbers will drop very low, giving the stem cells a place to inhabit and re-establish a new immunity system; when they are satisfied she is back up and running they will release her; probably somewhere close however to keep an eye on here. Her address is :
Froedtert Medical College
4th Floor; BMT Unit #9, Milwaukee WI
9200 W. Wisconsin Ave.
Milwaukee, WI 53226-3596
Please drop her a note, but they can’t take plants, flowers, etc. just mylar balloons.
Thanks! Much appreciated!
