No change

Well.... His counts did not move at all. I would have lost a bet if I would have made one.. Especially since we doubled his neupogen last night. His platelet count was 10... usually they give a transfusion for 21 or below.. So he got platelets today.

The rest of the day was spent visiting... We had a busy day with visitors and it made the day fly by. He even had a surprise visit from his teacher and principal! He had a good time showing everyone his collection of legos he has made up here.. He also gave some rides on the hospital bed, played some cards, played a few games of horse and drove his remote control car around the room.

Nothing else new to report.. We have settled into a routine here.. Not ideal but it is working. Hayes and Grace have stayed on their schedule and that is always my goal.. I like to keep them as normal as possible... I am not getting to see them too much since I have only been home for maybe an hour each day -- yes, I am getting tired.. I have been asked how people can help and I just don't know yet. I am just taking each day and being as flexible as I can be. It is frustrating to be here but we don't have control over his count recovery... So we are making the best of it. As crazy as it sounds.. Grier and I manage very well as roommates in a small room with constant interruptions....

I am still hoping for a discharge tomorrow.. We just need to get through tonight and see what the lab results say in the morning...
Goodnight from the 11th floor at LCH..
