Day 86

John's white count actually dropped in his blood test on Sunday. He thinks it's just some thing where the rounded up before and down now and nothing to note, but I'm sure its frustrating to him. He is a lot more patient than I would be though.

He goes back on Tuesday for another test and perhaps blood or platelets. On Friday, we have a second session with the doctors on the transplant status. I guess we won't hear anything from Sarah until then.

John and I had dinner with Dad and Dottie Saturday, which was very nice and a chance for John to get out. Other than going to the clinic and one or two stealth trips out, he's pretty much still confined.

Oh, we did order him a new laptop yesterday for his birthday. That will keep him busy when it arrives in a week or two. John's birthday is Thursday. I can't really think of what he would want as gifts, other than that. There is always the idea of a gift certificate to Gamestop, I guess.

Anyway, that's the news for now.
