If nothing changes, Jeff will be discharged tomorrow, after getting another shot of chemo to his central nervous system. We are again going to try and get 2 days off before having to come back here, which means that with any luck, we'll be home for a few days.
This week was not a fun one for Jeff. The infection caused his reflexive reaction time to slow, causing him to pass out in the bathroom. Luckily, his fall didn't cause any internal bleeding and he is fine, but having to have a cat scan of your head to make sure that you're not bleeding to death is a bit scary. (When you're low on platelets you can spontaneously bleed, so a fall is a huge deal. Jeff's platelets are around 15 right now - normal is 150 - 400.)
White count is 0.3 today...I'm hoping for a little bigger jump tomorrow, but I guess I need to get used to baby steps, as we're in this for the long haul.

Baby steps are important too!! Just think how fast JD advanced from his baby steps :)
Hopefully Jeff's blood will learn to jump quickly too.
Always in our thoughts and prayers.
