A Couple More Days

Ryan's white count was 1500 today. His neutrophil count was 600, so it is over the 500 that it had to be to get out of the hospital. The doctor told him today that it would be a couple more days until they "get you out of here." They want to make sure that he can take all his medicines in pill form and that he can keep food down. He wanted to go get "real" food tonight so when my mom and Aubrey came tonight, we walked to the food court in the parking garage. He was going to wait to get his food and take it back with him, but then he decided that he wanted to eat some of my Chinese food. He started on it and then said that his stomach didn't feel so well, so he quit eating. When we got back upstairs he decided that he had better get some nausea medicine and lay down, so he and Aubrey didn't get to play tonight, but we had a pretty good visit.

Ryan had a good day today. He took a nap for about 1 1/2 hours this afternoon, but he was awake and eating breakfast when I arrived this morning and took his shower before lunch. We ate lunch together and then he napped shortly after. He said that the basketball game last night was so exciting that he stayed awake for the whole thing.

Aubrey wants me to read to her, so more tomorrow.

Very cute - I have to share. Aubrey's Bible story was about Joshua tonight and the picture showed all the people playing their trumpets. As soon as she saw the picture, she had to get down and get the recorder that she got for Easter and play it because that's what the people in the picture were doing. :)
