Hank Update #3

Last night was 100% more restful than the night before. Hank took a bath last night and watched a movie with Randy and I. He is acting more and more like my old Hank. They took a blood sample this morning and said his red blood cell count was perfect and that he has plenty of blood but that his platelet count was a little low. They expect that after a transfusion but will continue to monitor that throughout the day.

The renal doctor, whose name I can't remember for the life of me, will be in today at some point to discuss his kidney function and give us further information. Since it's Sunday, I don't expect him to be in here any time soon. His blood pressure is stabilizing now and they haven't needed to give him any more medication. My little baby is resting so peacefully right now. I am so grateful this morning.

I just texted you! And, I got my perfect response here!

So glad things continue to get better. I have a feeling it's only uphill from here, man. Still-so sorry you even have to be up there. It's a wonderful and horrible place, that's for sure.

Can't wait to hear the words that he gets to COME HOME!!! (and you, too!)
