Wonking out

My head hurts.  We're back in decision-making mode and it's slow going because we each bring up decision-models, statistics, breaking things into percents, grouping vs not grouping....  In the end we'll have made a well thought-out decision but for now it's tedious!  The cause of our decision-fest is that, since Annie's need for transfusions has dropped due to her taking "smurfs," we can consider waiting until May to have her transplant.  Her counts today were 19,000 plt and 8.8 hmg and her next appointment is in two weeks.  She feels good and gets through her days successfully, for now.   On the flip side a potential donor, albeit not a perfect match, has been located and we could start her hospitalization as early as January 2nd.  There are pros and cons to each date and a variety of things to consider, thus our decision summit.  As with any thoughtful decision-process we'll need to fill in gaps by getting more information and we'll need to let it all sink in to see if our decision stands up over some time.  Therefore we'll post more about our timeline once we have things better nailed down.
