Isn’t it amazing how our body works? Kartik was quite unwell yesterday, however, believe it or not he is once again back into action today and that too with a laptop in his lap! The stronger dose of antibiotics worked. WBCs became visible today on the machine after going into hiding yesterday. The poor machine doesn’t report when WBC count is insignificant or less than 100 due to its own limitations. There is still some time before WBCs reach a normal range.
A dear friend of Kartik donated his platelets yesterday and that is the reason you see a respectable number in the table on the right. Blood and Platelet transfusions would be frequent in the next two weeks. On the donor front the news is that we have got 12 matching donors on low resolution DNA typing. We have still to find a matched donor on high resolution DNA typing. The search is going on. Keeping our fingers crossed that we find a donor as soon as possible.
I think a quick update went a little longer. Kartik’s neural circuitry is still finding the right connections to get back to blogging. In the meanwhile this is the best you can get from me. :-)
These are great updates from you Surbhi!!! Thank you. Keep them coming, you have quite the flair for writing!!
ReplyDeleteStrong positive vibes coming your way from Seattle. Love, Chandana
Thank you Chandanaben. that is the evidence of being with Kartik for so long. :-) And how can I forget those wonderful English teachers at BCC!

Dear Kartik and Surbhi,
ReplyDeleteI apologize for posting my thoughts so late on your blog, even though I have been following your blog regularly. Chandana shared the link with me and I am amazed at the way both of you are dealing with this trial. You have held up very well with your positive attitude and you will definitely pass through this phase successfully.
You are always in our hearts and in our prayers.
Love,
Mamta
Thank you Mamtaben for your kind words. It was nice to hear from you after a long time.
