Troy had another productive day today. His output was great, his appetite strong, and he did some more walking. His white blood cells hit an all time low of .3 today, but not to worry...they gave him a shot to increase the production of those little lifesavers.
They decided not to inspect his throat until he gets out of the neutropenic stage (mainly because he has to go to an external office for the examination). So, his voice is still weak and no one knows why; therefore, email is still the best way to communicate with him (please don't try to call the room).
As far as the light is concerned...they told him today that he is doing well enough to be discharged from the hospital! However, they won't let him go until his white blood cell count gets back up. From what I can tell, this should be within the week! I know many of you want to see him; just hang on a few more days.
I think today was an emotional day for Troy - he spoke of wanting to be "finished." And who could blame him? However, as we all know, this will be a journey comprised of many steps. I have found all I can do is support him on his journey, be there when he stumbles, and celebrate every corner he turns.
I know, and Troy knows, that you all feel the same way and when I told him he had so many people pulling for him he said, "I know, I can feel it."
