Day 188

John with his giant platelet!
John was re-admitted to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston yesterday with a 103.5 fever and a suspected bacterial infection. 

Last night and today he has had no fevers.
He is on 2 antibiotics that he will come home on very soon, providing no other fevers arise.

The good news is the counts are still good! To celebrate I got John a plush stuffed platelet! (Platelets are what clots your blood to stop you bleeding when you cut yourself). John spent many months not having too many of them! He nearly have the normal amount now! Hurrah!
Doctor's drew blood for another Chimerism test today and that will be the confirmation of whether the boost is definitely working! All signs point to very good news in that area!

As heart breaking as it was take John back to hospital we know it was a good decision, he obviously needed antibiotics.

He could be home as early as tomorrow! O how I hope!
