Day 31 July 5, 2009

Sunday-Today was a good day. Cody was up and walked to see the fish again. He says he is a little bit better. His ANC (absolute neutrophil count) is coming in. This is the infection fighting white cells that come in first. We are very happy with this. They actually came in Saturday which may have been why he felt so good and walked around a bit more than ever. All of these counts fluctuate but the fact that they have made it to his peripheral blood is a good sign.

We played a game with grandpa today and Cody did well. I think he knows he is beginning to pick up. We talked about going home too although that will not happen for maybe 2 weeks is my guess.
