Alex's counts continue to tick up, his neutrophils were 1.18 today and the mucositis is disappearing pretty quickly. He's much happier and is eating and drinking a little.
His intravenous nutrition is being dialed down from 24 hours to twelve and then to six. The morphine does is gradually being reduced as well as the pain from the mucositis recedes. His mission now is to eat and drink! That is easier said than done though, his system needs to get used to it again.
If all goes according to plan Alex will be released Wednesday, some 16 days after being admitted. It's been a long, tough haul, that's for sure.
Two more nights. We hope.
