Calm Day

Today was another calm day thankfully. His counts overall are getting better with the exception of a specific part of his white blood cells called ANC. This count is at zero (0) and it needs to be at least at .5 for the doctors to see that he is healing properly. Doctors feel this is normal because he did get some pretty intense chemo medicines this time. His spirits were okay today, he had some Occupational Therapy and some Music Therapy as well. These will aide him in pushing forward towards recovery. We tried getting him to walk but the last couple of days he has not wanted to. Maybe soreness from this weekend's walks or joint/muscle soreness that many chemo therapies give patients. I started massaging him more frequently through out the day and even got him some heat pads to put on his hips, knees, ankles and feet to see if that helps him out. He still has not eaten or had anything to drink but that will be changing soon. I am certain of that. He has been more receptive to food today and even asked me for a piece of quesadilla. He did not eat it but he held it for about an hour. At this point any interaction with food is good. As for roommates, they moved to another room tonight. Just us again in the room. I told Michelle we should just sell our place and move in here. Just kidding of course. I miss the trees and tranquility of our neighborhood and not to mention our other little boy Beemer. Good night and God bless everyone.
