Eric had his weekly doctor's appointment this morning. Things are looking really good. His neutrophils are up to 3.1, which is amazing. Other components of Eric's blood work are also improving but his platelets and red blood cells are staying the same. That leaves him tired and prone to bleeding, but fortunately he still gets out and walks every day and is building up his strength.
So the prognosis for the long term is good. Short term, we need to be patient because it takes time for bone marrow to build back up to normal. Having survived five weeks in a hospital room without going crazy, we hope it will be easier to be patient now that we are home and have a little bit more freedom of movement and a more extensive menu.
