Will we go home today?

Waiting anxiously for the ANC to come back.  The counts yesterday was: WBC 1.3, ANC 13, hemoglobin 9.8, platelets 62.  Today we are only told the WBC dropped again to 0.8.  If ANC is higher than 13 today, we can go home; otherwise, we continue to stay.

We have also been worrying about his urination and bowel movements.  He is holding both longer and seems to be in pain.  He still has daily bowel movements, but sometimes with lots of mucus.  Doctors think it's a side effect from chemo (mainly Vincristine) and we have been using stool softener since Sunday and started laxatives yesterday.  Hopefully that will help clear out his belly cramping and he will be able to go regularly instead of holding them.
