Day +5

Wow, day +5. By the end of this week we might already be on our way home.

Nico started the day with a big breakfast: Omelet, roasted potatoes and a fruit bowl. I was surprised that he is still allowed to eat fresh fruit and also salad. No fresh tomatoes though.

After breakfast he lost most of his energy. He has developed some bruises on his legs just from sitting in the chair. He decided to play it safe and stay in bed for the day. He mostly ate today: ice cream, strawberry smoothie, ice cream again, chicken Cesar salad and chocolate pudding, grilled cheese sandwich for dinner.

Nurse Carolyn taped the lab results for his blood counts on the bathroom door. 

TLTC = to low to count

His platelet count fell to 22, which means he will have a platelet transfusion tonight. This explains the bruises on his legs. He has to be especially careful now and avoid any falls.

I made a shopping trip to buy him some comfort food for the late night munchies.
