bad news

Today we saw our home doctor. Fiona's t-cell function fell. Fell doesn't really do it justice though. It's more like it jumped off a cliff. Her numbers are scary low. She's being quarantined to home. She can't leave the house except for doctor's appointments. She isn't allowed to go outside. We can't have live plants in the house. She'll probably start a diet that will limit bacteria on her food.

The doctor here thinks our next appointment with Cincinnati will be scheduling the bone marrow transplant. He said her t-cells and b cells are failing. I'm trying to be calm. It's not working out for me.
