Well, he has done it. Kathy told me today that even the Docs are impressed with his numbers. His white cell count was 150 yesterday and it jumped up to 1000 today. That means that he is only about 200 away from having somewhat of a functioning immune system. Going home this week is still a possibility. Kathy also said that she felt like she had her 'honey' back because Dave sounded so great on the phone today.
This puts him a little bit ahead of 'right on track'. Of course, then we have to deduct points :-( for the 'rash', which is getting better. Still not too sure what that is?!?!
When he does come home, he will be quarantined for about 100 days. Any small virus or bacteria can really set him back.
That's the news of today.
Keep thinking happy!

Footnote: We are so lucky to have Dana Farber and Brigham & Womens. Both facilities have taken such good care of Dave (and Kathy). Every time her and I talk she tells me what wonderful care he is getting.
