Day +29

I'm supposed to be going home soon but since my counts haven't budge, that dream is out of the picture. I had a bone marrow biopsy on Thursday. The doctors said they didn't see any leukemia cells but there really are no cells there at all. They also said that it takes longer, up to day 35, for cord blood transplant to engraft. Besides that I've been running fevers all week. Almost everyday day I've gotten blood and platelet transfusions. My eyes are completely blood shot. Before there were just little spots of blood on the sides but now blood is everywhere. I have scabs or little spots in random places. I have no idea what's going on with my body.

I recently learned that my friend from peds passed away. Her name is Jasmine, she was only 11. She was at the end of her treatment when everything went wrong too. She always wanted to play with my camera cause she had nothing else to do sine she was alone most of the time. It's so weird because she's so young. I was 11 when I was first diagnosed with AML.
R.I.P. Jasmine

Yesterday, idk why, but i had the biggest urge to go to Rite Aid and buy out the candy shelves, but i was with Andy, and raiding rite aid is a wifey thing, not a boyfriend thing! Maybe sometime this week I'll take a picture of us to rite aid and we'll go buy some stuff together, people won't think i'm crazy at all, i swear.


hang in there hun! <3 Just don't you ever for once think we forgot about you! I love youuu!
