Well today I would say that Stefan has really hit bottom. His counts are WBC 0.2, Hemoglobin is OK 10.8, Platelets are at 24. His last walk that he did with umpfff was yesterday late afternoon. In the evening he had his shoes and socks on, but just did not muster enough energy to go for a walk. Today he did not even eat all of his breakfast. He only ate one of the cereal boxes that he orders for the morning. The doctor group that saw him this morning said this is what they expected. Stefan has not been on any walks today and matter of fact he has not gotten out of bed, except to use the bathroom. He says he is really tired today, mouth feels a little sore, but no sores inside. No swelling of feet either, but he says that his whole body "the bones" ache him all over. I tried to give him a little massage to relax him, but he aches too much to do that for him. He ran another little spike in fever this morning up to 100.0. Last night around 10 pm he spiked to 100.4. For now he is still not connected to an IV, unless the blood tests show otherwise that some of chemicals are too low or if he is not drinking enough liquids. He is sleeping more today than any other day since he has been in here this time. Stefan has not even asked for his favorite foods, just telling me to take MY food away from his view and distance the smell, so I eat away from his room. My Prince Charming is sleeping now, weather could be a source of sleepiness also today. It is cloudy outside and gray. Hey ,maybe I should get a little nap myself. Good afternoon to all........3:30pm
