Adrian is doing ok. It could for sure be better, but it is as expected. I guess it is as good as it can be.
His WBC is down to 0.0 - which means zero immune system. As horrible as I think it is that he is Houston alone over Christmas, I feel that he is safe from germs there. It is all that matters now, stay healthy and recover.
The doctors told him, his throat is lined with blisters/sores - therefor the extreme pain in it. They have started giving him oxy codone for the pain. Told him to save some for me ;) lol.
He threw up several times yesterday but none today.
He's weight went from 178lbs last week during chemo, then down to 172lbs after lasix. Yesterday it was down to 160lbs, which is his normal weight, so he looks great!!
So good in fact, the lady who brought him food the other day whistled and told him he was fiiiiiine and he could order whatever he liked. :)
Tomorrow they will start Neupogen shots- artificially boost the WBC. We are holding off a couple of days before going to see him. Just want to play it safe.
He chats with us throughout the day, but gets tired really quick. When he comes back home we will start going for walks to get his cardio revved up. Adrian is dying to work out again. Plus we are looking into healthy food options and so on. We truly are blessed to live in Austin, for starters it is close to MD Anderson and second we have exceptional local farmers and organic food.
