Good news: Troy's white blood cell count went up to .04 today. I was told tonight that once he "turns the corner" the counts will severely increase (kind of like exponents). He had a stronger voice tonight, and he did some walking this morning.
Not so good news: He was tired from dialysis. His phosphorus level is slightly elevated, so they had to give him fluids to "flush it out." He has also developed a rash although it doesn't sound like anyone is really concerned about it - probably more irritating than anything else.
He mentioned that he is tired of "something new" developing everyday. Unfortunately, I think this is just part of the process. I told him to not get discouraged and to keep the big picture in mind. I think more than anything, he just needs a change of scenery - hopefully he will be out soon!
Please keep sending emails and cards. It would be great to include stories of things going on in your lives or events around your neck of the woods. Maybe your stories can help transport him to somewhere else besides the hospital.
