Did Someone say Discharge?

So not to get to far ahead of ourselves, nor overly excited, but the staff here at ucsf have started broaching the "D" word with us- yes that's right: Discharge. Details about going home. When we might (they think in 2 weeks) what we need to take care of at home (long list I'll cover soon) and all the goodies that go along.
Max is soooo much better this time compared to the last time I came down. His ANC has been up above 500 for 4 days now. This means that mom and dad can eat and drink in his room. He also can walk around the outside hallways if he wants.
He's still dealing with oxygen saturation level issues- pretty much he needs to wear the ox-tube when he sleeps. There are a team of specialists to discuss and pontificate on this, as well as an x-ray and a CAT scan taken of his lungs. The preliminary feedback I got from our night nurse last night (of course nothing from the specialists- they too busy being special together) is that there is a little something in his lower left lung. Probably from so much innactivity- but maybe pnemonia. Not too much to worry about.
We've also been visited by the Infectious disease team. Max has had a nagging, reoccuring fever. Nothing too bad, but the team wants to figure out why it's hanging around. So they'll start trying to eliminate possibilities.
Overall Max is feeling great. He's sleeping right now (9:10 AM Saturday morning). He got up and walked around the room a bunch. Had his playful goofball personality back. Did have a couple of nasty bloody throwups yesterday, but they resulted from him trying to shimmy from bed to gurney, then gurney to cat-scan.
