Hi Laurie!
Thanks for the hug and support! My husband and I did see Alex over the weekend. What a difference a day makes. When we arrive to see him Saturday he was sleeping and hardly spoke. We watched him sleep for more than 2 hours. Sunday when we arrived he was actually sitting up in a chair with the shades open and eating a little bit of yogurt. I was jumping for joy. His ANC is now at 260 but white blood cells haven't caught up yet but are slowly increasing. He is still having fevers from his fungal infection but the fevers are 100° or below which is a huge improvement. He actually texted friends on his phone for the first time in 2 weeks. Thank you for your prayers and support. I think that's what got me through the weekend. Warm hugs!

This is wonderful news to hear that Alex is finally seeing some improvement! 💕 Those first few weeks of transplant can feel so tenuous to all involved. I had a few of those moments too. Fortunately, our transplant teams have seen it all and ready for any contingency.
It’s really an encouraging sign that his fevers are now under 100; A good indication that his meds are working and his blood numbers are increasing. And if that isn’t reassuring enough, then seeing him texting friends for the first time in 2 weeks seals the deal! He should have steady progress ahead.
I bet you’ll have a much more restful sleep tonight. Thank you for the update and keep me (us) posted! Hugs!
