U of C Days 10 and 11

This weekend was pretty uneventful. They have started Leo on some of the meds that he used to take before, like neupogen to help increase his white blood cell count. So just like last time, that's the magic number that we need to wait to see increase. At this point, he's a 0.1, which is the same as he has been for the last couple months. Ideally, they want to see that number get closer to 3 or 4 before they will let him go home. Let's hope it won't take that long. He's feeling ok post transplant, just extremely tired, as is expected. But overall, he seems to be doing ok at this point. He's just sick of being here and misses the girls. We skype every night, but it's just not the same. So let's just all hope that the next couple weeks will pass quickly and that Leo will be home again soon. :)

So, now that the transplant is over, he's on some contact precautions. He can still have visitors (and totally welcomes them, btw), but they
require you to wear gowns when you are in his room. As always, if you have any cough, cold or sniffle, please stay away. Also, there are no kids on the unit.

Hope you all had wonderful weekends! Happy Monday!
