Andy and I have been together for over 13 years and I'm fairly confident this is the first time in the history of our relationship that he has gone to bed before me.
This, on top of nearly another 2.5 hour nap. It's safe to say that Andy is feeling extremely tired. But at least it's just tired at this point and he's not feeling ill.
Our appointment was this morning again at 7:30, we got our labs and met with our nurse. Andy's numbers are starting to do what they are supposed to do. His WBC was 15.9 yesterday and today they were at 6.1. Platelets are dropping too, although, not as steep of a drop from Friday to Saturday (118 - 77 - 50). Once the platelets drop to 20, he'll need a transfusion, but we've been told to expect that, so we're just waiting. Hg are holding steady and Potassium and Magnesium are also holding steady. His Kidney function is doing well also. Our PA was so satisfied with Andy's number that we didn't need to wait around for the Attending, and we were discharged about 2 hours after we got to the hospital.
It was a quiet day at home for us - Andy napped, I got some laundry and sanitizing done. All the St. Patrick's Day decorations are put away and we are fully decorated for Easter! I got some crafting done and we are well stocked with food for the week thanks to everyone's abundant generosity. I got a surprise visit from my sister and we were able to sneak a quick walk in before it started raining - sleeting - snowing - slushing...or whatever it was doing. And actually that's a lie - because we got that wonderful mixture on us for the last part of our walk! Regardless, it was just what I needed!
We ate some dinner - some of us more than others. Andy's appetite is starting to slow down and nothing really sounds good to him. We started a new show on Hulu and facetimed with the kids. It's amazing how quiet the house is without them here. We're all excited for hugs tomorrow!
Tomorrow's appointment is at 10:00. Tomorrow we begin Day 4. I told Andy that, and we both agreed, Day 3 feels like day 103 and we're just getting started!
