Clayton had a great day today. He woke up around 3 this morning and was fussy, so we gave him a dose of morphine and he spent the rest of the morning playing in is bed or on the pull out bed with his toys. He didn't even seem to need more morphine after the other wore off.
He fell asleep around 10:30, slept for a few hours and then woke up just a playful as before. We could tell last night that he was starting to feel better (meaning his counts were coming up) and his behavior this morning confirmed it. Later so did the nurse when she reported that his blood counts has doubled. Don't get excited though. His counts are only at 88 and to put that into perspective, below 500 is suppose to be isolation, so we have a ways to go. BUT we made progress!
Wait for it...there's more...He started trying to eat again tonight!! That's huge! He's not chowing down, but a little bite here and a little bite there means we're getting closer...AND he hasn't needed anymore morphine!
Hoping to harvest on Friday now.
