U of C Day 15 - Clear

After Leo's fever broke last night, they came in and took an xray of his chest to make sure everything was ok. His xray came back clear. So at this point, the doctors are saying that it's normal that he had that fever last night and that it's all a part of the recovery process. The fever did not come back at all today, but he's still feeling the nausea and cannot eat. So we'll take it. Yesterday was horrible and today was slightly better, but not great. We'll just have to take baby steps at this point. Leo needs another platelet transfusion tonight, so they will be giving him the unit I donated this past Monday. If anyone was thinking of coming down to donate platelets, now would be a great time to do that. Leo will be fairly transfusion dependent over the next couple weeks and it's really nice for him to receive the donations from people that care about him and want to support his recovery. Again, it's not an easy process and it will take about 2 hours, but this would be a great sacrifice for us. I am going to donate again tomorrow, just in case anyone was wondering.

Thanks to Patrick, mom, dad, Doll, Bing and Mike for coming out to visit today. Support of family and friends is essential at this point in keeping Leo's spirits up and keeping him strong. He is really missing home and being with the girls at this point. We do have Skype, but we all know that's not the same as actually being with the girls. So thank you to everyone that's coming out to support him and his recovery.

Have a wonderful evening!
