Day 13
It feels sooo good! My numbers popped up today just as they said they would. Yesterday 400, today 1100. Still way off from the norm of 140,000, but it's a start and an indicator that the stem cells have engrafted.
There is nothing like the creaks and groans of our home. Familiar sounds, familiar smells, familiar surroundings pull me back into its cozy bosom. If you've ever been to our house, you know we have decorated in some pretty bold colors, and I was so happy to see the mango, asparagus and tomato soup colored walls. It felt really good to get back into the kitchen to putter and nest - there is a place for everything and everything has a place, instead of having adult diapers sitting next to the breakfast cereal in the window sill for all to see.
Thanks to everyone for being a part of our journey these past few weeks. We still have a few more weeks of isolation until I have a stronger immune system.
Kristin here - I am especially grateful to all the folks at Langsford, my work family, for all the wonderful food. It was much more important than I realized it would be. You kept me nourished physically and emotionally. It's nice to know you still care even though I don't work there anymore :)
We'll continue updating the post from time to time. This is just the end of the first chapter.
Absolutely love seeing Leila’s beautiful smiling face at home!! You are both incredibly strong and it is an honor to watch how you love and support each other through this. So glad chapter one is coming to a close! ❤️
