It's been a boring few days -- and that is what everyone hopes for in the midst of a bone marrow transplant.
Eric remains in the hospital on round the clock IV antibiotics and the fever has not returned since Friday - yeah! His blood counts continue to rise and those new neutrophils are helping the sore mouth/throat/gut/bum heal. He is able to eat most foods althought nothing tastes good. His taste buds are gone as a result of the mucositis. They'll eventually be back but it makes for bland food for a while.
As long as things continue on this path, I expect he'll be back home as soon as the course of round the clock antibiotics is complete.
Thanks again to everyone for the cards, emails and prayers. You are all so kind.

Kathy,
Sounds like Eric is doing great. I glad his girlfriend was able to give you a little break. I'll have my fingers crossed that all continues to go well.
