UPDATE
Nathan's white blood count is up a little - he is still pretty low for immunity. His platelets were low - but held pretty good all weekend and so they may actually be on their way back up and so he wasn't given any.
He IS off the antibiotics. He is on neupogen to raise his white count - he got to choose if he wanted to get a new line in his port or to take the line out and get a shot for two days instead. He chose the shots and is happy to be without the line.
He will go back on Thursday for counts.
*******************************************
We had a very good weekend. We did go up to Grand Lake and it was so refreshing to be up in the mountains. We mostly just hung around the house and went to town. We drove through Rocky Mountain National Park on the way home yesterday and while it made for a longer drive we really enjoyed it. Nathan was surprised how cold it was at the top.
Nathan is feeling fine. We expect his counts to be up today (though his platelets will likely still be lagging behind). He goes to the clinic at 10:00 today. At the very least I hope he is taken off the antibiotics.
Mike and Kathy will head home tomorrow. We have enjoyed their visit so much and will be sad to see them go.
I will update on the top of this later after the clinic.
