Dad had a really good day today. He got unhooked from the heart monitor so he could really take a nap and rest. He slept a good hour and a half and when he woke up he said it felt like he'd slept all night. It felt that good!
He ate half of a sandwich and had a rootbeer float. He took a couple walks today too.
The doctor told him that if his numbers improve enough, he could potentially go home in 14 days or so. Then he would have to come back for his bone marrow biopsy as an outpatient. The neutrophils we were rooting for earlier in this journey are what we are rooting for again. We need those numbers to start increasing.
Dad is pretty focused on getting home, although, he admits, his insurance may preclude that from happening until after the biopsy - we'll see. Insurance companies are so nutso (if you work for one, of course, I don't mean Yours).
All in all, I'll take it. I'll take whatever good days we get along the way and I'll run with it. Here's to another good day tomorrow!
Keep up the prayers - so far, so good! Keep the faith and know that we all appreciate you and your support. Just knowing friends and family are out there gives us all the strength to keep on keepin' on.
Love ya!
