Well, Dave's coming home tomorrow! The purple skin has turned a 'lighter shade of pale' and he appears to be free of infection. He is still a little bloated, but that is also getting better each day. He's a fast healer. The power of wanting to go home badly enough, I guess.
The Docs are pretty sure that they have isolated the medicine that caused the reaction and they have taken him off of that. He will still have to be pill popping, but not that one!
The folks at Brigham and Women's, although very concerned about this skin problem, are extremly pleased with the way Dave is progressing as a Stem Cell Transplant patient. His blood count numbers continue to improve and that is some really good news. Once he gets all of these annoying, uncomfortable issues out of the way, he should be good. Kathy told me tonite that the Docs are very pleased with his health otherwise.
So, he is on the road to recovery. I will try to keep you informed of his progress at home.
Keep a happy, healthy thought.

Hey Dave...I'm glad to hear that you were coming home today! I told Lauren to give you a great big hug for me! Hope you're feeling much better now that you are at home.
:)
Miss you Dave, it's been a long time since I've talked to you, let alone seen you... but you've always been like a 2nd Dad to me..
I've been around you more than my own Dad in the past 7 years!
See you soon
<3 Nikki (Lauren's friend from grade school and always)
