Dodges another bullet

Just got back from the doc's office.  ANC went up to 848.  Was a little below 450.  Hbg went up from 10.9 to 12.2 -  I think having that respitory infection a couple of weeks ago caused my whites to tank.  Just glad to be back on track.  No too back for week 34.  Hanging tough!

Thanks everyone, I'm here for you too.  You won't see my name up in lights everyday, but I'm here if you need me.  Silent plea to the powers above to just get 48 wks behind me, then I continue tx with real a doctor!!!  
Be well

Oh Batfink, you are my true hero!!!

Well done Trinity;   your tx could make a great trilogy if you're ever so inclined....   It's been such a voyage and you are so quiet when the going gets rough and then, bingo, 'dodge another bullet' again.... and share with us lesser mortals too !!!    I am cheering on the sidelines and thrilled that you're turned another corner away from the infection xxx

Very glad to see your ANC coming up and that hgb level is kicka$$!   Good for you for knowing when to take care of yourself when your body is taking a beating and I'm glad you're recovering well from the bronchitis.  That can be nasty if it gets out of hand.

Nice work, Trin. :)

Of course you'd kick it...I expected nothing less from you....

Since I've started tx, one of the things I've been trippin' on is, what happens if/when you get sick while tx-ing?

Is that the common response?

glad you're back, girl..onward**

Hi Trinity,

I’m happy to hear you’re experiencing improvements. I had some rough moments during weeks 30-40 during both Tx’s. Keep up the good work—
