And, I could tell! He was much perkier than yesterday. Yesterday he would just sit next to me and look at me with his ears down and these sad little eyes. And, he could hardly walk

. Today he was walking around the room, sniffing, trying to crawl into my lap, and giving me lots of kisses

. It felt so good to see him acting more like himself. I have hope now that my little baby will come home to me. I will update with more specifics after I talk to the doctor tonight!

So glad he is doing better

I talked to the doctor this evening and they said that although is red blood cell count is still low, it at least has not been dropping and appears to be stable. Now we just have to wait and hope that those red blood cells start rebuilding themselves! He has not had to have anymore blood transfusions today! We will hope that he will continue along this path and that his liver and kidneys hold up during the recovery process.

I just got a good update from the doctor. The specialist talks about his red blood count in percent rather than numbers like the other doctor. So his red blood count stayed stable yesterday at 18%, and today it is up to 20%. So he is starting to rebuild his red blood cells

. I am soooo happy to hear this. They have also transitioned him to getting some of his meds orally instead of through the IV and they are weaning him off of IV fluids.

The only slightly bad news is that he had 3 vomiting episodes between 12am and 3am...so they gave him some anti-nausea medication and he hasn't vomited since. If he holds his food down today and continues to do well he may be coming home tomorrow!

Mom to Hot Rod · 03-05-2008, 07:18 AM

That's great news to hear that he doing well. Hope that he will be better and get to come home. I am sure that you are really missing him. Hugs and prayers!
