Check-up

We just got back from the nurse practitioner and she was really happy with how my mom is doing, so that was great to hear. Though her white blood cell count is still low, she said that it is the last thing to go up. She knows that her body is healing, though, because her platelet count was 50 last week and 178 this week! Yeah!
She still has a horrible taste in her mouth that is making eating and drinking really unappealing and the nurse reassured her that it would only be like that for 2 months (I think my mom was hoping it would be sooner than that!)
She has an appointment with her doctor next week because it will already be 1 month post transplant!
