Your eyes must be tired from my last post, so I'll keep this short. It seems official, Blake's fever was due to his medication and not the bacteria. Yea! All of that pain yesterday paid off big. Blake gave birth to a whole slew of Little Neuts (white cells), taking his number from 29 to an increadible 800! He is no longer at a huge risk for infection and with numbers that good, he can go home on Monday assuming things hold steady. They wanted him to stay until the day after Christmas "because that is easier" for us. Huh?? Did he not learn from our chat yesterday? If we found someone to do the same kind of monitoring in Seattle, then we could go on Monday. Five minutes later, his amazing doctor in Seattle agreed to do it and they have a great clinic associated with the hospital that is equipped to handle anything that could arise. I believe they were surprised at our efficiency. Blake was discharged home this afternoon, and will go to the clinic here Sat and Sunday. Before we left, however, I removed most of his remaining shedding hair using the tape in the hospital. Waxing is not limited to us girls. His nurse was increadibly impressed with this technique.
Alden has been having a blast at his cousins' place, playing with other kids, a dog, meeting other people, and going to school. He also cleaned out their food stores. Apparently, he gave Michelle eleven hugs after she fed him some chicken for dinner. That's graditude!
We're finally feeling a bit of holiday cheer and hope everyone else is too. I hope our next post is in the airport on our way home!
