What a difference as 48 hours makes!  Sunday and Monday were miserable days with a headache,  and throat soars .  On Tuesday Luke finally ate and got out of bed and cruised the halls for the first time since being admitted on Sunday.  Best of all on Wednesday counts had recovered enough for Luke to be released from the care, custody and control of MD Anderson.

Blood counts improved on all fronts.  White count increased from .1 to above 2 (normal is +4).  Platelets got above 20 (normal is +140).  Hemoglobin is at 9 (normal is +14).  He is at clinic tomorrow to draw labs.  If counts continue to improve he will be inpatient for chemo Wednesday and Thursday next week.   Next week's chemo includes a high dose of methotrexate in the spine which in the past has been rough.

Beth will be in H town late next week.  Adri is coming to town next weekend.  We are  looking forward to meeting the much anticipated and world renowned beauty, Adri, from Monterrey!
