Maybe maybe...
No ANC yesterday, but he had enough whites for a differential. Today, more whites. Maybe an ANC? Maybe getting out tomorrow?
Continuing to look up
He is up and playing, had juice and a bit of cereal. No fever overnight, no problems with BP.
Watching ABC's (All-Star Alphabet) for the billionth time.
We are waiting on news of the latest CBC. Then...? We shall see.
Grandma was feeling awful yesterday (not contagious; don't want to broadcast my mom's medical issues) so I missed rehearsal to care for her. She is feeling better and is currently watching Meatball at home.

It's...the morning report!
Still holding steady with The Boy's forward progress. I just talked with Grandma as The Boy's nurse was taking vital signs. Temperature was once again normal, blood pressure was pretty good, and we haven't seen any food return in awhile. More importantly, he has actually wanted to eat, which is even better.
He wanted to eat before, but his stomach wasn't ready. Yesterday was a really good day, meal-wise. If you like meat. Meat meat meat.
Meatball decided, once again, that 5:30 AM was wakeup time. If Musical Daddy wasn't getting home so late (and I try to stay up to talk to him on the phone and keep him awake as he drives home, and actually see him when he arrives as well), I'd consider using that 5:30 AM wakeup time to exercise or something similarly productive and rewarding. Perhaps, soon, I'll be able to do that. As it is, Meatball is content if I remove him from the bedroom and sit with him. I can doze a little bit, at least, and not worry that Meatball's scintillating conversation will wake his father.
He fell asleep in his blue rocking chair as I was taking my shower. Stinker.
Today I have laundry to do and a bit of household stuff. I need to pick up a prescription for my mother as well.
It's a real drag that I don't get to spend as much time with The Boy due to the fact that Meatball needs to be kept away from him, and I need to care for Meatball. I don't want either child to infect the other with whatever he has. Meatball has been coughing, so it's particularly important to keep them apart. My mother has been amazing as per usual this week, and my father-in-law was similarly amazing last week, although he now has a nasty cold that turned into an infection of sorts. Of course, Musical Daddy takes such great care of our boy. He is rather lucky in that respect--a starting rotation of Musical Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa (Musical Daddy's father), and me (particularly out of the hospital), makes for a pretty good pitching staff team.

and the band played on...
Still the same, which in this case is good news.
Musical Daddy reports that The Boy was very two this evening. Grandma reports that
Musical Daddy had a lot of giggling silly fun.
He was eating almost normally today (if you consider roast beef for breakfast to be normal). I asked the nurse about the type of day that he has been having, and it was a good one. She did mention a poo blowout in the morning.
What? Just one? That IS a good day.
Good call on the part of the doctor to start anti-fungal. She said it doesn't work all that fast, but I took Diflucan for thrush and felt it working pretty quickly.
Of course, no word on departure date. Hoping that it is soon. I'd like to be able to spend the time with my family this weekend for my mom's 60th birthday. Might require some creativity with people; definitely will be made easier by the pending arrival of our good friend from near Pittsburgh, who was my mother's roomie in college. She is just the sweetest person. And she loves the boys to bits. Did I mention that she was just here last week?
