Day 7: T+7

"I'm so tired!" was Eric's comment at 12:15 today as he did his second breathing treatment of the day.  It's so true. Sheet exhaustion every hour of the day and he still does everything he's supposed to do. He's dedicated and such a hard worker! Couldn't be prouder of him. Love you, Eric!

Eric had his first blood transfusion today. It was the first but probably not the last. They check his blood counts everyday. It's expected that his counts will be low (while waiting for engraftment of the bone marrow) but the doctors don't want them to go below a certain point.  If the red blood cells go below 26 they'll give him a blood transfusion. 

Things are truckn along up here. Everyday that goes by is a day closer to where we want to be. Here's the latest video installment:
