Another day in house - August 14, 2014

A bit better day today with Asa, at least some freedom from tubes and meds.  Docs backed off on electrolyte meds and removed all antibiotics because cultures were negative.  We are now sitting here waiting on neutrophil counts to rise.  We went from zero to 30 now.  Need to be headed uphill to 500. Asa was a bit happier today, likely because there was less conspiracy to shove him full of foul-tasting syringes full of pink stuff and that he was released to go wireless.

Please pray that Asa's counts rise quickly so that we are not numbering our days here.  Pray that Asa's platelets and hemoglobin stay up as his counts recover.   Pray that as his counts rise, that he stay well.  And pray that we would use our time here well as long as we are supposed to be here.

Thanks today for a more pleasant day and a good lunch with a new friend.  Grateful Asa was more happy go lucky and enjoyed playing with friends.  Happy for lots of steps and more appetite.  Thankful for folks who help make our stay here pleasant and think about our comfort and sanity.  Grateful for good nurses and good conversation.
