Counts finally came back up this morning. His ANC is at 600, which is above the 500 required to leave the BMT inpatient floor. Neither Kevin or I was interested in spending one more night there. He's feeling well today. We had a busy (and early) morning. He had his EKG and Echocardio test first thing. Next we had his audiology test. So far, Kevin's not suffered any hearing loss. We hope this continues, as Kevin's high dose chemo drug, Cisplatin can cause hearing loss, especially in the high frequencies. He only has one more round, so we'll hope and pray for continued good hearing. He's getting excited about his birthday. We're relieved he won't have to spend it inpatient. The nurses are proud of him, as he's told all of them he's donating presents (except for mom & dad's and a select couple of others) to St. Jude. He wants to deliver them himself to the different clinics (B&D) and recovery. That's about all that's going on here.
Take Care,
Eric
