Cabin (condo) Fever

Well, Wyatt continues to move forward in this process.  He is eating, finally!  He is off his 'tpn' (iv nutrition) and he has dropped two medicines.  He now only takes 15 medicines a day!  Good thing Wyatt doesn't seem to mind taking medicine.  I am not sure how we would muscle through all of them if he wasn't such a good patient. 

His counts are holding steady again so he has less of a need for transfusions.  And as a result, we spend less time at the clinic.  He is now down to twice a week as long as eveything continues to hold out.  So, we have lots of hours in a day that we need to occupy a three year and an eleven month old.  Steve and I have to dig deep for creative energy...and physical energy.  It is freezing here most days and Wyatt cannot be around large crowds, so we are very limited with our options to pass the time.  We do try to take drives everyday which Wyatt calls our "family outings".  These drives usually revolve around Steve and I needing coffee to keep up the pace. 

We hope to find out the results of Wyatt's bone marrow biopsy on Tuesday.  The doctors are looking for two things - mostly donor cells present and a lot of cell growth.  Steve and I have taken our typical stances...he is Peter Positive and I am Debbie Downer (the truth usually lies somewhere in between.)   Of course, this is one of the few occasions that I would be happy for Steve to say a big fat I-told-you-so!   So keep your fingers crossed that the doctors see what they need to see!   Again, we wait.
