Today was a much better day than yesterday. I could tell as soon as Ryan answered the phone this morning that he was feeling better. He is defintely doing better today. Dr. Marinella has started Ryan on neupogen. That is a drug that helps his body produce white blood cells. If his white count comes up over 1000 and he doesn't have any fever, and his platelets and red blood cell numbers are good, then he will probably get to come home Monday or Tuesday. We would love to have him home so Aubrey can enjoy seeing her Daddy each day. We are praying that his body will do what it is supposed to do so that we can take him home for a week or two before we head to Columbus.
Aubrey and I traveled in the snow down here this afternoon. The roads weren't horrible, but they weren't great either. We're staying in Dayton tonight so that we can visit tomorrow. Hopefully the roads will be good enough that we can head home again tomorrow night, but we'll see.
We appreciate your prayers for Ryan's counts to do what they need to do.
