About a week ago I took an AP Bio test and received a 93% on it, I took it while I was getting IVIG (the IV med that caused my meningitis) and IV Benadryl. So I was incredibly out of it to say the least. My doctors decided to take the test as a group and see if they could score higher than me. Well they ended up getting a 65%, so I felt pretty good. This week we found out the results of my bone marrow cellularity, 65%! Ironic how horrible that number was to them and how great it was for me. I was told that all of my cell lines were there, they were babies, but they were there, So everything should be working great right! I wish that was the case but of course, that's way too easy. Because of the CMV Virus in my system I have to be put on a drug called Valganciclovir until I am able to fly to Washington D.C. and receive a special T-Cell Therapy that will wipe the virus out completely. A side effect of this drug you might ask? Suppressing the bone marrow. My platelets have gone up and above 50,000! It's been a long time since I was above that amount. My white cell count is slowly creeping up too! My red cells haven't budged though and I wish they would because it would be nice to have more energy let alone the appropriate amount of Oxygen. For now I am still in Renucci and it is getting old fast, a small room and no where to go because it is too cold outside and I can't go out into the hospital lobby because there are too many people and I am not allowed to be around that many people. It is hard but I hope that I can return home soon.
