Everything was looking up today! Because his numbers were so high, they decided to stop the GCFS today to see how everything held. We anticipate tomorrow the numbers will drop because some of these are a bit of a "false high" because of the way the GCFS works. It forces the stem cells out of the bone marrow to flow freely in the bloodstream which makes it seem like there is a higher concentration of all the good things than what there actually is. It's sort of a sneak peak to how the edited stem cells are working, but also a bit of a jump start for them.
ZiLong did some school and I learned dressing changes, doing two on Chester. Just one more to get signed off on before I change ZiLong's dressing!
