Recent few days have been an improvement. Zevi's stomach has been better and last night actually resembled decent sleep - till 5 Zevi was in his bed and we were in ours. Zevi did finish out the night in our bed, but it was still a win.
The blood work numbers have been better as well. HGB (red blood cells) have stayed largely the same; WBC (immune system cells in general) dipped a bit last week and moved up now. ANC (neutrophils, cells responsible for fighting infection) dropped sharply last week - which, doctors told us, is actually not bad. If they are not in the blood, then they are somewhere else, presumably kicking a virus' behind. Now Zevi is feeling better, eating a little better, and netrophils are moving back up. Platelets (responsible for blood clotting) dropped a little last week and today they reached 119k, which is the highest still since transplant. In fact, highest we have seen them for a long time.
Zevi is solidly into the "why?" stage, asking for explanations for everything from cars to clouds. Benjamin continues to learn English. Both are alternately cute and infuriating. In other words - pretty normal for a brace of three year old boys.
These have been tough days, but things have been improving slowly. We will take it.
