Mac is doing much better now, his pain is down to his knees and his feet. His temperature and BP are pretty stable and his ANC is moving in the right direction slowly! Once we can keep his pain under control with oral medications as needed (which will hopefully not be often), we can be discharged. That will probably be Sunday!

Halloween is a big deal here and today we got to experience "reverse trick or treating". All the departments dress up in themes and come to the rooms of patients. So all Mac had to do was hang a green sign on his door (meaning 'yes come in') and sit and watch the candy roll in. The costumes were awesome and Mac had a photographer take a picture of him receiving treats from the Wizard of Oz crew. I'll let you know if it gets used anywhere. It was fun for us all as we have been a part of the 2nd floor theme (The Grinch) for so many weeks. They even had a Mac store in Whoville. That's what you get when you're on the frequent inpatient program!

Thanks for reading and praying and helping keep our spirits up!

  5. If you are stuck in the hospital the corner rooms are the place to be, much larger and quieter. I am glad that Mac enjoyed Halloween St. Jude style and I am praying that you are back at Target soon with a rising ANC.
