Jailed in the Hospital

Thankfully, Blake's infection seems to have resolved quickly with the antibiotics. He has not had any more fevers and is feeling pretty good. AND his MS symptoms have gotten better now that the infection is gone. His mind feels pretty sharp without that dirty film of MS fatigue and slowing. He does feel kind of anemic today, a bit short of breath, but it is to be expected. His white count went down to 80 and his Neutrophil count is too low to be counted. Looking at all the other blogs, it seems like his white count may still come down tonight and go up the following days from the growth factor. We want the counts to get as low as possible, I'll continue to harass everyone for those numbers. He is switching his antibiotic today, and will be able to leave the hospital once he has a picc line in his arm for the IV medications. Unfortunately, it's Saturday, so this cannot be done over the weekend and he'll have to stay until monday. He's pretty bummed about that. We have not been harassing them enough, apparently, to make them motivated to discharge us. If anyone has ideas, let us know!
