Neutro-polys are doubling. Today they are 0.10. That is great! Hopefully they will be high enough this week to get his broviac in before we leave for Toronto.

Today his counts are:
Hemoglobin is 85*
Platelets are 40*
Neutro-polys are 0.10
Today we are here 91 days......and Mr. T is not a Happy Camper at all! He was really hoping to get some time home before our admitting date. Well...that's not going to happen. We will leave straight from here on Saturday the 5th...in order to be admitted at Toronto Sick Kids on July 6th.
No.....Mr. T is not taking it well. After 3 months here mainly in isolation....he knows he will have to go through another 3 months there in isolation, barring all complications. And the Oncology team 'insists' that he knows what he will be going through..and it won't be fun. He knows he will have to get much sicker in order to get better. He is not looking forward to the trip or the stay at Sick Kids. I don't blame him. He has the right to his pain and anger & frustrations. No child should go through this....but unfortunately....many of them do. After this bone marrow ordeal....I hope & pray that Mr. T has many great years ahead of him.
