What do these counts mean??
Well if I told you Stefan's White Blood Count is at 1.1 and his Hemoglobin is at 10.1and his Platelets are at 16......That means he can go home on Tuesday afternoon. The doctors were here this morning and they are confident that the counts will continue to go up as the days go on. His reaction from this mornings' doctor visits are more smiles on that baby-looking face. Still on antibiotics for today and some more potasium, but that is it for now.
On Sunday afternoon Bruno and Diane visited, had some ice cream here and a quick visit. Stefan had taken a short walk but, that was it for Sunday.
Now we wait for that good news to be heard on Tuesday, "Ok you may go home"..
Karen the stem cell nurse here will come in today to discuss the discharge plan and the appointments we have to keep for the next few weeks. We were told that for the first few weeks, once a week, he will need to come in to the clinic here to be tested. A nurse will come to the house to draw blood for a few weeks also. We'll be looking forward to Tuesday.
