Hi Christine.

That's great he's doing so well! Waiting for engraftment is really boring after all the chemo, where stuff changes every day!

I had to look back through my own thread to see, but I first had my neutrophils go up (a sign of engraftment) on Day +11. At that point they gave me growth factor injections to artificially raise my counts so I could be safely discharged (but don't get too excited at the super high numbers, because they come right back down again when you stop the injections!!).
