Better

Today was a fairly uneventful day (thank God!!!!). Leo's counts are holding ok. His hemoglobin dropped a bit, but nothing crazy, so he needed 2 units of blood today. The doctors aren't too concerned about the drop and they think the bleed has been controlled pretty well. Leo is pretty swollen from all the fluids he's getting and they have at least allowed him to start drinking water today, which is good. They are going to start him on some IV nutrition in the next couple days to help bring his strength up. They can't do it right now because he doesn't have enough IV points. By the way, he's got the three IV's in his central line, 2 in his arm and one in his neck. And that's not enough. Amazing. Just goes to show really how much medication he is on. He is still not taking any of his pills in fear of irritating anything, so they're just giving him anything they can via IV.

The best news of today was that the girls were able to see Leo in the hospital. U of C has a VERY strict policy that they've implemented form his last stay that no kids under 18 are allowed to visit patients. But I think that since Leo's case was deemed fairly urgent, the doctors made an exception to let the girls see him. So they hung out there most of the afternoon. He slept through some of it, but I know that he truly enjoyed having them there and just holding their hands and hearing their voices. I'm glad they had that opportunity, since I don't think they will let the girls come back. So it was a good day.

Anyway, hope everyone enjoyed their weekends. Leo's out of the ICU and I'll take that as a success. Let's hope it's not much longer after this. :)
