The infection (diagnosed as C. diff.)is clearing up. Terry's platelets did not rise with the next bag so they did a cross-match to try to get a better response. After that was infused her platelets rose to 12 (previously at 3 and they want to keep them above 10), which is good. The plan now is to monitor for 48 hours and if they do not drop she should be able to go home and prepare for the transplant, if they do drop she will receive another bag of the cross-matched platelets and then be observed for another 48 hours. Right now is just a lot of watching and waiting, everyone is really nice and she has a good view from her room. There is a prospective date of the 22nd to return to the hospital, but I think we will know more as Terry improves. Thanks again for your prayers.
