Mark's white blood cell count has only increased to 0.17 so unfortunately engraftment has not yet started.
Mark and Dianna will go back to the Huntsman tomorrow for labs. If his count has increased enough, he will be able to stop taking the medication.
He is still getting a morphine shot when they arrive at the Huntsman and then again before they leave. This seems to be keeping Mark really tired but pain free for most of the day.
Mark has had a fever. The good news though is that he had a blood culture test yesterday and nothing grew from it so that just means that his body is trying to fight the Myeloma and graft new cells.
Hopefully tomorrow will show a jump in his white blood cell count.
Have a good weekend.
