Keep those positive thoughts coming!

Well, it's Saturday. Over a week since he went in now. And Stefan's release from the hospital is within sight...

This morning, Stefan's wbc was 1.2 - which is great news! However, he's still got to stay for 24 hours observation, to make sure the wbc doesn't drop down again.

There's also a new doctor in charge of Stefan's team, Dr. Leonidas Platanias. Stefan doesn't exactly agree with this particular doctor's assessments and decisions, such as keeping him for so long. Dr. P says it's possible that Stefan will be able to go home on Monday. I just don't understand that... if his wbc is up TODAY, then 24 hours with nothing but positive changes should mean that he could go home TOMORROW. Unless this Greek doctor works off a different calendar than the rest of us? I don't know. It's very confusing. I'm gonna try to talk to him sometime soon, and see what the deal is.

Other than the change of doctors, Stefan's mood is still one of resignation. He's still aggravated about his lengthy stay. And now he's even more agitated because Dr. P said "Monday" instead of tomorrow. We'll just have to take it day by day, like we've been doing.

Daniella is on her way to go see Stefan now, so after I speak with her this evening, I'll post an update on how Stefan's feeling.

Ciao for now!
Keep those positive thoughts coming! They did the trick to boost him up over 1000! Now, everyone think "Sunday" - so he'll get to go home tomorrow!
