Not yet



Well here we are moving onto day 24 (not that I'm counting) and we are still waiting on the labs. Some days they move up, some days they move down. Yesterday his white count was .7 today it was .6. They want a little more proof that he is moving in the upward direction before he goes home so here we are. He took a 4+ hour nap today. I can't decided if that's good ( he is healing) or bad (why is he so exhausted?). Because he is so tired and his heart rate is a little high they are giving him blood tonight even though his HCT is a few points above transfusion level. I'm glad they are giving him blood. He just seems exhausted. He will play for a little bit then lay on my lap for a little bit. Then play then he wants to be rocked. Its kinda sad. The up side is we do lots of snuggling. He is happy (as long as he gets his pain meds). That is better too, we almost never get morphine anymore just oxycodone. All in all things are pretty good. I don't know when our labs will rise. I am expecting that one day the docs will walk in and say "hey do you want to go home today?" That's kinda how it is one day your rock bottom the next your body kicked into gear and your labs are great.
