Rinse, Repeat {day 21}

Sam's To Do List Today:
 drink a smoothie
do homework
do laps
watch full house (be shocked to find out that Michelle is played by two people)
eat a hamburger
play hangman 
eat a peanut butter & jelly sandwich
do math with Zeyde
eat a hamburger
do laps 
banter with nurses
eat a plum or two
drink water
read books with Karen
"She's MY friend, mom. She came to see me, not you."
go downstairs for a quick breath of fresh air
play hangman
choosing words from his new Dragonology book
eat a hamburger
drink water
eat apple slices
more homework
watch sponge bob
do a headstand in bed
be absolutely adorable
have no immune system to speak of
wait for tomorrow :-)

Tomorrow they are doing a "manual differential" which means that they're giving the gerbils (okay, FINE, it's probably a machine) that normally count neutrophils the day off and asking a person to do it. Let's hope that poor soul isn't stuck looking for something that isn't there, right? It would be early to have counts but his white blood count has risen ever so slightly and his hemoglobin and platelets are holding steady...which are super-good signs that his body is starting to recover. Not getting too excited but it's nice to feel that we are actually progressing even though there's not much going on....
