Day 60: T+60


No bleeding since yesterday at noon. No bleeding means we don't have to do one of those three options. Here's to Eric's body stopping the bleeding with the assistance of 24 hour running platelets and a 24 hour protonics drip. Those are the two things that have changed and they seem to be working! 


For now we are hope the bleeding has stopped for good, but we have a game plan if it comes back. Let's hope it doesn't! That would be our miracle! I already count it a miracle that he's gotten through today without bleeding! 

The GI doctor is looking for 72 continuous hours of no bleeding to feel pretty confident that area has healed and won't bleed anymore. 


In the meantime, they feel that Eric is stable enough to move back upstairs to the BMT unit! Goodbye ICU! Eric couldn't be happier. The ICU is a hard place to be because you have more wires and stuff on you all the time. So everytime you move or get up out of bed you have a million things to take off or adjust. Come shift change tonight, Eric's back to the BMT unit! Woohoo!

Although we are not out of the water, it's nice to be on our way. Every hour with no blood is one closer to his healing.  Who knew we would ever be so excited about normal looking poop. 


Eric, here's to healing and moving out of the ICU! You got this! We will keep counting the hours until we get to a place where you are healed. I love you!
