Day +280 : Planning

I am fine today. This morning I am back to morning 's qi gong class.

Last Sunday, Xin Yi attended her classmate's birthday party, Jasmine Yeo. Kid is always excited when have chance to attend birthday celebration. Xin Yi told me she wake up early because of her friend birthday.

Jasmine told Xin Yi , she is very lucky , not need to attend many classes. Jasmine only off on Sunday. She need to attend additional cl assess from Monday to Saturday. I realise kid can be happier just by giving them more time to play instead of tuition

Day +278 : Follow Up

I am fine today.

I have a follow up with Dr Alan today. My last follow up was about a month ago 30 June.

HB : 14.7 (13.6) ( Normal Range 13.0 to 18.0)
Platelets: 126 (151) Normal Range 150 to 400)
Total WBC : 5.3 (8.9) Normal Range 4.0 to 11.0)

The platelets drop mainly due to GVHD ( a rejection). I asked Alan why I always feel breathless. For example, even working from car park to Dr Alan's clinic O( about 150m), I feel short of breath. The answer is - GVHD happen in my lung. Today, he add additional drug which to be taken at alternative day. The side effect is the drug make you drowsy. My next follow up is two weeks from now. I will do the lung test by that time.
