Things are looking up
Jacob's feeling a lot better today and his counts are looking better, too. Usually, once the tide changes, the numbers go up rapidly, so I think there' s a good chance they'll let us go tomorrow.
He hasn't had any pain meds at all today. Yesterday, we spent most of the day waiting for it to be time for meds; it's a big improvement.
Oddly enough, he's going to get a transfusion this afternoon, even though his hematocrit's come up to 22. I have high hopes it will give him a big boost, energy-wise. Somehow or other, he's gotten this far without ever having a transfusion, but we've seen roommates at the hospital perk up afterwards.
My phone is working kind of intermittantly here, so if you can't get through, try again.
