Today is the earliest that the doctors said that Ryan's white cell count could begin to come up. It was 300 today, it has been bouncing back and forth between 200 and 300 since about day +4. Ryan's rash has not lessened, but it hasn't gotten worse either, so they are just continuing to watch it. He will continue to be in contact isolation until Saturday morning when they get the results from his test back. His fever is gone today and nothing grew on any of the cultures.
Ryan had a couple of visitors today and was tired this afternoon. He slept from about 4:30-7:30 and was pretty out of it when I woke him up at 7:30 so he could visit with Aubrey. He only lasted about 15 minutes before he was ready to head back to his room and bed.
I think his throat is feeling a little better. We now just wait for the counts to come up.
We continue to appreciate all the prayers that are being offered for us.

April,
ReplyDeleteI check Ryan's Blog daily to see his progress. It is so kind of you to post daily to keep people informed. We pray for you often. Hoping for Ryan to be feeling better soon so he can enjoy longer visits with Aubrey, and you too of course:)!

Ryan is in our thoughts and we continue to pray. April, you, are in our prayers too. I know some days have got to be worse than others, both keep being strong. You can get through this. We pray for Aubrey's Daddy so he will feel better soon and get to come home.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you have met someone who shares the same challenges you are meeting each day. I'm sure that will help you through your journey. Keep faith and continue to take one day at a time. Sandy, Randy and all
