Today Zev had his weekly checkup at OHSU. The blood draw was as smooth as those go. The counts were good too: white blood cells only a little above normal and platelets, while far below healthy, are not at transfusion levels either.
Zev is feeling well, playful and energetic. In the last two days he has even asked for food and has been eating well, thank G-D. We continue to fret and keep him isolated to even greater degree than the docs suggest, but this does by a measure of comfort that he will enter transplant prep as bug-free as possible.
Speaking of that: no news is good news. The check-in is till Monday the 4th and transplant, Day 0, is scheduled for the 15th.
In the mean time Benjamin and I have been allowed back home. It is good to have the boys together; they have been asking about each other. It should also be noted that they are substantially easier to control when apart. Benjamin, especially, gets jealous of Zev's time with Alla and acts out. I can usually maintain order, but not without a credible threat of time out. Our attempts at non-authoritarian order meet with varying success.
