Hi Everyone!
Sorry I haven't updated in a couple of weeks! We have been getting settled in and used to out routine. Robert is doing really well. His counts are continuing to come up and he is feeling better everyday, he looks better everyday as well!
He has still beeing getting nausea and had a little trouble eating, but it has gotten a lot better and he says things taste better all the time. He did get the CMV virus, which is a virus that 80% of people have, but it lies dormant because our immune systems keep it in check, but since Robert's immune system is low, it started making him really tired, sluggish, and he wasn't eating much. But, they caught the virus in his blood work and he is getting IV antibiotics twice everyday. Once at the Clinic at we do the other at home. He has been doing a lot better since!
He got a bone marrow biopsy last thursday, and we are still waiting on the results, so I will let you all know how that goes.
We have been going to the Clinic everyday, but yesterday was our first day off and it was very nice not to have to spend 3 hours there. They are also giving us this weekend off, well at least saturday. So that is good news. It means they feel Robert is coming along just fine and we are so grateful! We are truly blessed with how well he has done.
We miss Vegas and can't wait to come home! Robert's 100 day mark is August 2nd, so we are really looking forward to it! Thank you everyone for everything you have done for us and our families! We appreciate it so much!
All our love.
