Cael's neutrophil counts went way up since yesterday! This is great news. The doctor we spoke to today thinks that the counts should start to really take off from here. Again, we aren't going to expect too much, but he thinks Cael's ANC should be at 2500 by the end of the week. I don't know what that means for his discharge, but it can only be a good thing!

Cael got to see his great grandmother and her friend today. He was such a charmer for them, as usual. He finally seems to be getting back to his normal self. The only thing that still is off is his eating. The doctor today said that once his counts come back he should start to eat better and better. It will be such a change to have him eating like a normal baby again. Since he has been either not eating or only taking formula for the past few months, we are going to have to start all over with the solids again. We used to make our own baby food, but I don't think we can do that for awhile after we leave here. Something about the bacteria on the fruits and veggies. So we are going to have to do jarred baby foods until he can work up to normal finger foods. 

His day was really good again today. I don't really have much else to say. Each day is getting less eventful, which is good, but it makes it so I don't have much to say on here! I guess no news is good news though. So if I don't update every day, assume the best!
