Happy Easter!!

It is a wonderful day today!! Hope everyone is enjoying their Easter and time with family and friends.

Eric's numbers have gone crazy this weekend. Yesterday (Saturday) his numbers were:
WBC = 1.91
Platelets = 31
Absolute Neutrophil count = 783

Today --- big drum roll please!!!
WBC = 8.83
Platelets = 71
Absolute Neutrophil count 3532

They almost let him come home today, however his blood pressure dropped considerably today. One of the results sometimes of your numbers rising so quickly. He is still getting shots of neuprogen daily. Neuprogen works to increase those WBC's quickly. Sudden spikes like this will sometimes cause a person to fell light headed, lower blood pressure and feel kind of yucky.. Something to do with the bone marrow and the neuprogen wanting to do all this stuff in the body. It is like your system has ADD now and is bouncing off the walls to do what it is suppose to do...

Anyway, they say it is nothing to worry about. Nurse is checking on Eric regularly to make sure.

Good News - Eric is set to be released TOMORROW!!! Yes, we will be packing up and heading home tomorrow.. Hopefully the doctors and interns will get all their paperwork done early and we can get on the road by noon or so. I think we are both more than ready to get home.

We don't have our "home" orders yet. They said that Eric shouldn't be around crowds for a couple weeks at least so he will probably lay low for awhile.. But looking forward to seeing all of you very soon. Keep watching for more to come on a "Welcome home celebration" for Eric. WE have many things to celebrate and be thankful for!!!

Happy Easter & God Bless!!
