DAY PLUS 34 - AUGUST 20, 2008

So far...so good! The numbers are amazing...his counts keep going up. Mr. T's white blood cells are 5.2 from 4.1.
Neutropolys were 2.53 and now they are a whopping 3.54!
Dr. Sam told us T does not have GVH (graft versus host)...but he does have a viral infection from the stool sample and there is nothing to do for that. We can even go home with a viral infection.
We are still waiting for the opthamologist to come and see him as his eye is very red and caused him pain...but he hasn't come yet.
His doctor told me that Mr. T can now eat and drink whatever he wants...but he doesn't want to.
They advise not to have dairy foods right now with diarrhea. I'm trying to encourage him to have soup or crackers or even toast...he says he might tomorrow.
This afternoon we went for a pantamidine test....this is a treatment to discourage pneumonia on his lungs.
He asked me to buy him peanuts...so I bought 3 different kinds...and he's eating cashews. It's a start!
