We woke up around 7.30 when Dr. Hellerstedt entered the room. I know that they were in here during the night and did blood works again and I can tell Aj sweated last night again, because there were sheets and a gown on the floor. :)
She told us that he is exactly where she wants him to be in terms of how his body has responded to chemo. That sounds great to me!
His liver level/enzymes has gone down which is also a respond to chemo and his whites are up, will post the exact numbers when I get them from the nurse. Dr. Hellerstedt said that she will work on getting him home, its better that he recovers from home than in the hospital. She said that there are less germs than in the hospital and you can find some weird ones here too.
Then the plan is to get him home, keep recovering and Dr. H will monitor him in her office instead. Then in the next week or so - we will go to Houston to have him examined. They want to make sure they are giving him the right treatment and IN CASE he needs a bone marrow transplant in the future, they want to start planning that ahead of time.
Yesterday Fabby, Tommy and I went to Whole Foods and got the VitaMixer 5200 - its going to help us eat A LOT of veggies and fruits to help fight the cancer cells. Shakes, juices, smoothies, soups - you name it - I am going to make it.
