Well, Melanie's neutrophils were back down today...ARGH! Saturday they were .2, yesterday they were .4, and today they are back to .2. A bit frustrating! Everything is kind of a day to day thing right now. It is just a "wait and see" game. One of the doctors, Dr. Petersen, has been out of town. He is the most experienced of all the doctors. They all have been conferencing via phone, but he returns tomorrow. All the doctors will have a pow wow, and decide the plan of action. Right now, they are leaning towards doing a second transplant. There are a lot of variables that could have affected the grafting process, and failure of the new cells to graft. It is hard to pinpoint what exactly went wrong and why. Melanie has been saying from day one that she just doesn't follow the normal path. She says she is creating the "Melanie Protocol", for future followers.
Melanie is having a really hard time right now. She is extremely emotional and frustrated. She also just feels plain awful. One of her nurses, Jared, told her that she is in the hardest stage right now. She has no blood counts or immune system, which causes her to have absolutely no energy. Melanie just feels crappy! She is also really scared as well.
Darn it! We just have to remain positive and optimistic.
