Day +6

Nico's platelet counts went down again during the night to 13. He had another transfusion in the morning. Overall he is doing quite well. 
He had taken a shower already and felt still fit enough for a walk. It takes quite some effort to get ready for a stroll in the hallway. He has to put on a gown, face mask and gloves. We made one lap around the loop (19 times around the loop is a mile).

His leg looked even more bruised today.

He went for a second walk later in the afternoon, not quite as far as the first time. He had way more energy than the previous day. 
His afternoon labs looked promising, platelets were at 23! Maybe we are turning the corner. 
He started to feel the Neupogen doing its job. His legs were achy tonight and he asked for some Tylenol. The nurse offered him something stronger, but he did not want it. 
Hopefully he will have a restful night.
