Huzzah!

So my white blood cell count jumped from .6 yesterday to 4-point-something today.  This means a few things:

• I no longer have to follow the low-microbial diet (until the chemo before the transplant).  Woohoo!
• I can go outside (though I have to wear a mask in crowded places).  Woohoo!
• I don't have to take antibiotics anymore (until after the transplant).  Woohoo!
• I can go to Stanford tomorrow where they'll actually determine if I have enough stem cells to begin collection.  If I do, they'll do a collection tomorrow and for subsequent days until they've collected enough.

Praise God!
