Things are looking up

Most things are on the way up, including Hayden's spirits and his overall white blood cell count...surely his neutrophils will follow. His temp, on the other hand, is not up - and that's good. The last spike was yesterday evening. He was fine all through the night and so far today. Seeing as all of the blood cultures are coming back negative for infection, we're fairly certain that once his neutrophils return the fevers and swollen gums will subside (btw - he doesn't have thrush).

The olanzapine seems to be helping his appetite and nausea. He has way fewer bouts and is requesting new foods (thanks to Grandma & Grandpa for the 'emergency' chicken noodle soup delivery).

He's keeping busy with some exciting new projects. Details to follow...
