Day +3

Another day is over.  It was, once again, dominated by intermittent diarrhea and subsequent butt care.  Pain medication use was limited.  Mercifully, this was the extent of it.  No mouth sores yet.  Zev's energy level was up.  He set up, did leg presses again dad's shoulder and some leg raises.  He cheerfully Skyped with Grandma Lina and his buddy Mark Espinosa.

On the lab front: the infection-fighting cell numbers have, pretty much, hit zero, as anticipated.  Antibiotics have been added to the daily drug intake.  According to various folks who have gone through this, we are just now entering the worst phase.  The length of the phase of suck varies, as does the severity.  Some folks described days, some had several weeks.  We hope for the best and continue to take it one day at a time.

 Once again, it was over all, not a bad day.

On the home front Benya had a good couple of days with mom around and some time spent in the park.  Here are a couple of pictures of him.
