Day 8.

Donnie has really been in the hospital for 14 days but he is considered Day +8 post transplant. He has been doing really well so far though. He is just pretty wore out, like the first couple days after the flu. He has also had to get a few bags of blood and platelets over the last couple days, because his platelets have been too low. The rash he had is starting to get a little better too. Donnie will potentually be discharged on Monday if his numbers continue to stay on the upward, but that is something they determine daily. It will all depend on how he looks that day. We are both ready for him to get out of here, so hopefully he continues progressing well!
I, unfortunately, have to leave today. I want to get home and see the kids for a few days and I also have to bring my grandpa home, who hitch hiked up here with me :) His sister(Aunt Lu) is the one I have been staying with and he hasn't seen her in awhile, so I thought it would be a perfect time for him to make a trip up. I spend almost all day at the hospital so him and my Aunt Lu were able to get lots of time in together. She was able to get a lot of gardening done. {he has quite the green thumb} I'm sure my Granny is ready to have him home and I'm ready to have the guest bed back haha. I was sleeping on the fold out couch so he could have the guest room, and I've never had the worst 4 nights of sleep in my life! No, haha, I'm glad he came, it was nice to have a partner on the trip. Gotta go though, I need to make it home before Brody's fundraiser tonight :)
