They were at 16,000 yesterday, and I was told anything under 20,000 is dangerous. They will go down some tomorrow because they don't last that long, but hopefully she is producing her own and keep her counts high enough to be in the safe range, and get to come home Wednesday. And, wearing those masks all day is really uncomfortable when your sitting for long periods. Carol was in good spirits today, and was really hoping to come home tomorrow, but she is learning to acquiesce to the doctor's decisions, which is a big step for her.
