Good afternoon!
Robert is doing well today(he is sleeping as we speak). His WBC is up to 0.7 and his platelets are already up to 155.0, which is incredibly awesome. Usually platelets are the last blood cells to come back after chemo, but they are doing great. We are hoping Robert's white count takes a big jump any day here. The sooner the better, so we can get out of the hospital. We are both super ready, especially Robert. :)
Other than his white count coming up before we get to leave they also have to ween him from IV to pill form for his anti-rejection drugs. And he is still not eating a lot, so he will have to start eating more before they let us leave. But it still sounds like we'll be able to get out of here next week sometime.
All our love.
