Hi Kamara - you are doing exceedingly well - it is very early to expect normal counts - I'm at day 125+ and am still not normal in platelets and RBC - Day 100 is more of a marker and even then all your counts may not be normal. Relax and take care of yourself - a good time to learn patience. Hopefully you'll continue to sail through - but don't be surprised if there are setbacks along the way.
You need to be especially careful about avoiding infections - especially with young children - lovable and cute disease vectors - My doctor describes the transplanted immune system as that of a premature infant. Listen to the instructions about wearing mask and gloves, hand washing, avoiding crowds etc. Take time to heal!
Best wishes for a continued, boring recovery.
Paul
