Here are a couple of pictures that we snagged from my mom's camera. Alden is faithfully brushing the apt with my hairbrush to keep it clean. Blake is putting his best 'I'm not ill" look on. He is thankfully better, and home now.
Yesterday was nice. Blake got to come home and our friends, Adrienne and James came to visit. We had to be good around my dad, though we had fun and got to discuss our girls weekend in greater detail. James and Blake are soo excited for this.
Last night was full of excitement. I woke up to Blake whispering " I have blood in my urine" in my ear in the middle of the night. I do not like to hear this, especially while sleeping. I am a certified MD, so we of course, called the doctor on call, who was fairly blase with our news. Blake had fears of having his bladder electrocaudered, but in reality, he just needed to drink more water. And so he did. He drank nearly a gallon while watching Lord of the Rings. Just after I fell asleep for a bit, Alden awoke, full of life and vigor. It was 5:30 or 6, and he had been sleeping essentially since 2pm yesterday. He thinks he is on London time, though I don't have an explanation for that. We went into the clinic, where we confirmed that Blake is fine, although his counts are appropriately dropping. His white count is in the 4,000s from 8900, so he has a day or two to enjoy Baltimore with his cool N95 face mask.For those of you in the know, this mask blocks spores and other nasty stuff from entering the body. It does its job so well, that it even blocks most air from entering. I took him shopping at Safeway today in it, and we got through the line in no time. Probably, by this weekend, he'll be at the lowest count, 0, and then the only way up is, well, up. Blake is feeling well today, and would write this entry, but since he stayed up all night, is now sleeping. I will be following now.
