If I said that today Jules isn't feeling that great; then it would sound as if she's making no progress .... and in fact is going backwards..... Well it is true that today she probably feels about as good as Thursday ... the nausea has returned and she feels tired and has lost her appetite. So on the face of it you might be disappointed.... However the reason she feels worse is simply that her white cell count is now down to 0.6 ( when 5.0 or below is abnormal) .... and so her bodies immune system is extremely low...... but she still has a normal temerature and blood pressure ... which is really good news. Thats because tomorrow her white cell count will fall to 0.0 zero! .... and from there .... the only way is up.... because the new stem cells will start doing their job and rebuild her immunity.
As her nurse said to us ... to have got this far without an infection or high tempertature is fantastic ... tomorrow is the bottom of the curve in terms of feeling bad.... and so from Day nine she should start to feel better.....

So..... still keeping 'em crossed .... keep them positive waves heading over to the Marsden ... get through tomorrow .... X
