I hate waiting. I've never been good at it, and this is no exception. Each day Ted goes to Baylor and gets his blood drawn to see where the numbers are. We were told that the engrafting wouldn't begin until "at least" day 10 to 14. Today was day 14, but apparently it hasn't happened yet. They gave him a Neupogen shot today and more magnesium. The shot is to boost the white cells. The magnesium is low because one of the medicines he is taking causes that.
Today Ted drove himself there and back. We have had offers from several people to take him, but he feels comfortable for now driving himself.
Thank you all so much for the continued prayers. We are hopeful that we will have good news in the next few days!

I am not good at waiting either, so I can relate to that one! Take care and know that we are praying for successful results very soon...and not a lot more waiting!
Waiting stinks...and I've always heard not to pray for "patience" or God will give you a reason to need it! Maybe Hans is a laid back guy and Day 14 just isn't his style?? At any rate I will be praying for successful results as soon as possible.
