In other news the small neupogen shot he got yesterday did what it was supposed to. It boosted his neutrophils from 400 to 2900 and his white blood count from 800 to 3600. That's more of a blast! Dr. Asch said that his body is making the neutrophils and white blood cells, and the neupogen just pushed it out of the factory. Now to see what it does tomorrow. It most likely will fall, but we are hoping that it doesn't fall too far.
His Hermatocrit and platelets dropped a little, but not too far to need infusions.
It was a day full of many doctors and staff. We saw the GI doctor who is monitoring Eric's distension in his belly. The dietician came by and said they are going to start monitoring his calorie counts and encouraged him to try eating.
Still moving in the right direction! Continue the race, Eric!
Eric and his new shirt!
