Update from Room 138

Steve has has a couple of bad nights. But his days are pretty good. At night he gets fevers, chills, respiratory concerns and rashes. They are able to give him medicines to control it. During the day he is able sit up in the chair and watch TV and even took a walk in the hall (without his IV in!).

Good news is that his bone marrow is growing!! YAY!

White cell count is 1.1 (up from 0)
Neutrophils is 210 (out of 1000 and up from 0)

Things are progressing :)

Oh Wow. God Bless you Steve. I am so happy that the numbers are rising.

It is also nice to see the pictures before and after and to see your handsome face. :)

I am in awe of your strength and just thrilled to hear your progress.

Keep it going Steve.

Love and Hugs,

Aunt Cheryl
