Tuesday, 25 August 2009 - Day +15

Drew's white cell count went up again today and he has .2 neutriphils, when they get to 0.5 for 3 days in a row that means he has engrafted (stage 2). Again apart from his bone pain, which is a side effect of one of the drugs he needs to take, to encourage his body to make white cells, he is in great spirits. Drew's food intake is awesome, even the Drs got a bit sidetracked this morning as they watched him devour, 2 fried eggs and 3 rashers bacon, after a bowl of coco rocks!!! Apparently this is quite rare at Day +15. We WIIed today, Drew winning 2 games of bowling to my 1. His record Aunty Donna was 232 pins. Any of Drew's friends or family reading this blog who have skype are more than welcome to ring him, just text me first so we can make sure we are ready. Thanks for the message Joey and Jacob, notice there was no mention of the Jets this week. :0)

Jets? What the?? Didn't watch the game so unfortunately can't make a true, correct and unbiased assessment of their performance! From what we heard though they played absolutely *&^%$# (hate to say it - crap) - we might just be on the lookout for a new team to support! Any ideas Drew???? Good to see you are also impressing the doctors on your road to recovery. Talk again soon mum's yelling at us (again) to go to bed. Jacob and Joey xx
