More good news! John's wbc count yesterday was 10.4 and his netrophil count was way over 1000 (1.0) The drs have discontinued the leukine and his wbc count was still at 10.0 today and the neutrophils were over 1000. As long as he can maintain a neutrophil count above 100 (0.1) and everything else stays in place, he can come home Saturday - this Saturday, Nov 3, 2012.
Still fluid retention although kidney function has returned to normal; letting nature take its course - no lasix for now. The hiccups are finally responding to the medication and the treatment for pneumonia should be completed before John is discharged.
You have all been incredible incessionaries with the powers that be; please keep up all of the prayers, positive thoughts.
Wow! This is amazing news! I suspect that betting on John is usually a good choice. :)
