Back at the apartment

Yesterday was a bit rough, I got the 24 hr flu, realistically food poisoning. So I was only with Tim for about 2 hrs. Today though was good news, the hematologist said his WBC count was up. It one week ago it was 80 when it should have been 1500. Today it was at 600. His rbc count was a bit down from 30 to 28, but they worry when it is 23. So if on Friday his rbc is close to 25 they feel that he will be able to get past this phase without Steroid treatment, but it might mean more transfusions. So now we are in a waiting game, but the really good thing is that Tim came back to the apartment tonight. After another week in the hospital, it feels sometimes like we have spent as much time in hospitals as out since the 28th of August. Tim is still uncomfortable but things have started moving in his intestines. Ok that is maybe more information than some of you want, but really I leave the gross stuff out. So now we are back together and on our own until Thursday when Andrea and Lily come to visit. Lily is 5 weeks old and we will get to see her for the first time.
