Tuesday-Cody had a great night and we had a great dr visit today. His counts are beautiful so it worth noting: White blood count 9500 (normal is between 4-10,000), Hemoglobin 11.5 which is normal, platelets 136, 000 (normal range is 150, 000 -400,000. I think this is the highest he has been since transplant)and ANC or absolute neutrophil count is almost 8.8 which is acceptable. It will come up but overall, counts are great! He is gaining weight too which is from the steroids but he is also eating. Tonight he ate 5 shrimp when we fondued. He is snacking quite a bit but that is to be expected and all good because he could use to gain. He has to be on this dose of steroids for a month so he will probably get puffy. He will not be happy about that but what can we do. We go back on Thursday to meet with the gastrointestinal doctor and will see what they have to say.
I do see a bit of the anxiety in him from the steroids too. He has a hard time sitting still. Today we even went for a walk. He is worried about me getting sick and is kinda protective over me too the past few days. I do my best to stay healthy. I protect him like crazy too! We are good for each other.
We are hoping to go to the Islanders practice and then to another game this weekend. I thank God for that connection. It is the only thing we have to do and it brings a HUGE smile to his face.
Hope everyone has a good night....sweet dreams!!
