Good News - Bad News

Good news - Bad news:
Celeste has reponded to a change in antibiotics and is no longer
having fevers. For awhile there was concern that the fluid collected
between her lungs and chest wall was infected. With the fevers
responding they have ruled that out. Her xrays show improvement in her
pneumonia. She has a good productive cough = yuck!

White blood cell counts dipped down to almost nothing but are
on the rise.
white blood count normal ranges 4.3 - 10.8
Celeste Friday = .3
Celeste Sat     = .1
Celeste Sun    = .7
Celeste Mon   = 2.0   Wahoo!

Platelet count Saturday = 10
Platelet count Sunday = 14  They didn't transfuse
Platelet count Monday = 7  She will get a transfusion of platelets
today. The HLA testing is still not back.

Battling nausea and vomiting is her current drawback. Changing medication
has helped this morning but makes her really sleepy......
Thank you for all of your prayers!
A special thank you to everyone who contributed to the wonderful
pictures and messages!!!!!!! What a blessing good friends are!
