Day +62

Last three days have been a mixed bag.  On Monday Zevi spiked a 100.4 F (38.0 C) fever, just high enough to set us off to OHSU.  A quick check confirmed the same virus that has been bothering Zevi's gut is also causing a runny nose, a little cough, and the fever.  The fever, it must be said, went down below the 38.0 mark almost immediately.  Zevi was given antibiotic, fluids, and we were sent home.  Truly, no reason to complain - a virus, annoying as it is, is a much better option than gut GVHD.  During the Tuesday clinic appointment the diagnosis was confirmed and the blood numbers remained largely unchanged, though the platelet counts went down a little.  Today Zevi has been feeling better and ate some.  Progress.

Tonight we also have Benjamin back at home, finally.  Having both boys here is both exciting and tiring.  They have fun playing together; naturally there is also conflict and feeding off each others' craziness.  Parr for the course.
