Alex's numbers are plummeting - probably down to zero - which means *zero* ability to fight off infection...so, we are stuck in his room of about 100 square feet until his counts start to come up - that might not be until Friday...
Taylor, Alex's Chemo Buddy came by for a while today - they built a sailboat (well, Alex's version of a sail boat), and painted it, and glued it while Eric and I went down to the cafeteria to eat lunch.
We played Hospital Bingo, and Alex got to call in and say "Bingo" on the TV - twice! When the prize cart came around, he picked out a die-cast X-Wing Fighter from Star Wars - that was a hit!
Eric is going home this afternoon to give Tessa-Lynn some Daddy time - we both miss her so much- and he'll be back tomorrow with more clothes for us (we packed for a hospital visit - but not for this many days). Because Alex is so neutropenic, we can't have visitors - it sucks...Hopefully tomorrow, I can take a trip down the hill to spend some time with Tessa-Lynn too. Mom says Tessa-Lynn is practicing crawling backwards today - so cute!
Once the doctors see his counts rebounding and he stays free of a fever, we'll be able to go home - I'll let you all know as soon as we do!
