"Gangbusters"

Wow!
Four fantastic things Margie was told yesterday at her meeting with doctors on the blue team:

" the engraftment is going like gangbusters!"

"we've never seen an engraftment this fast in a mini transplant"

"the latest blood work done for leukemia cells came up zero"

"we expect the engraftment to be complete in the next two days"

Holy guacamole! I don't know who to be more impressed with. Margie for having the super human strength to get through this last year plus and who's body is so healthy and smart it knows to receive or Cathy for having the Mother Theresa of stem cells to take over Margie's immune system and beat that leukemias butt. (of course, that was all highly technical medical terminology)

I spoke with Margie on the phone this morning and I've got to say, her voice sounds better. They're figuring out a better drug combination so she's not sick so much and that's gotta help a lot. Every day is a little bit better.

I hope she or Cathy blog soon so that either of them can express her own feelings about this wonderful development.

Have a great weekend,
Kathleen
