So I was kind of hoping Robert might be able to make the blog today since he's entertaining in his anecdotes, but leaving the hospital and facing the big bad world is wearing him out. This morning he wanted to jointly go on a walk for his required 30 minutes of exercise and since his parents were still in town it gave us the opportunity to see the valley at the cusp of the day. Really it was lovely. Then he was off to the hospital to get his platelets tested to see if his body had started to produce. Long story short and 3 visits to the hospital later, we will say his platelets did not go up and he had another transfusion. He spent whatever other parts of his day and evening there were left... sleeping. I think the meds he is on, low blood cells, and the winding down from his heavy Prednisone dosing is knocking him out. One of the things we really need for his recovery is his platelets to come in so that he doesn't have to get daily transfusions and trips to the hospital. If you are wondering one thing to remember tonight, it is to Pray for Platelets . Anyway, we are so happy to have him home!
One little story that I left off yesterdays post, in case Robert wanted to share it himself was about our little Aero. Aero has been taking his time moving from crawling to walking, even though he's Speedy Gonzalez on the crawl. I could tell he was ready for walking the past few weeks, but have been holding back really pushing him to do so, since it would be nice if Robert could be there for his first steps. Well, it turned out to be such a sweet moment. The child who had hardly taken more than a step or two on his own, took several steps that day back and forth to his Da-dee.
