The nurse practitioner was in early this morning, before 9:00. I also was there earlier than usual, so I got to hear what she had to say and ask questions. She told Ryan that today was a trial run for being at home. He was unhooked from his IV and had to take all his meds by mouth and had to eat and drink enough so that he could go home tomorrow. He had a good day. I left at 5:00 and he had only taken his nausea medicine one time, no pain medicine today - he hadn't been sick or in pain. He called me right after I got home and he sounded good, he was planning to get in the shower and eat supper.
His white count was 1700 today. His platelets really went up, they were 69. His hemoglobin went down just a tad is was 9.8 today (I think). Otherwise, things are going well and when I make it to Columbus tomorrow evening I will get to take him to our vacation home!
