Day 14
First, the numbers.
WBC 1.75
HCT 32
ANC .94
Plts 106
Basically, John has doubled his blood levels and it shows in his eyes and his being. The doctors made their rounds and had next to nothing to say, which is the best thing to "hear" from a doctor. We have a meeting tomorrow with the discharge nurse, which is even better news (at least for John) though it scares me.
When I came over this morning, John had eaten most of a bowl of (I am not kidding) Fruit Loops. He swallowed pills and had an interesting debate with his nurse over cream of wheat versus grits late in the day. That has to say a lot on a lot of levels.
I should be disinfecting the world here in the house, but I need a moment to breathe in all the senses of the term.
Laura and Mike are on the way back to Atlanta. John really enjoyed their being here and the fresh humor they brought. Carson came too for a time that John enjoyed.
There is more, but there is also much to clean here and much to prepare within for the transition to come. It is late or early, but time for some rest.
