Day #2 in the Hospital

Hi All,
2pm Update:
Nick was released from the hospital. His ANC is up to 280 today. He has no fever and the doctor really believes he probably caught a cold and has been fighting it, on top of the steroids and chemo doses, it can knock him down. The doctors also feel it is better to be home these days than in the hospital. So we are going to take it easy this weekend and enjoy lots of family time. Nick will be back at clinic on Monday and hopefully his counts have re-bounded. Take care. Karen

10am Update:
We do not have too much news. Greg spent the night with Nick and he said everything went okay. They had to wake Nick at 10pm to give him the tamiflu and he was not to happy about it. He has to take it in liquid form and not the fun (starburst coated) pills. Greg feels he will still probably leave today, but not until late afternoon, after rounds. His WBC went up slightly to 1.9. Greg did not have any other numbers, but I will keep everyone posted. We figure we will be in 'lockdown' this weekend as a precaution for Nick. More to come.
