Braxton had to go back to the hospital.
He started running a fever on Friday and testing showed that his white blood cell and neutrafil (sp?) counts were down. Both levels are supposed to be at about 1,000 and both were well below 100. So back to the hospital for our young Braxton.
Today is Sunday. Braxton's white blood cell count has rebounded to 900, but his neutrafil count is still very low. He is also still running a fever. So we don't know when he'll be able to come home.
Beth has been staying with him since Friday and I am taking tonight's shift. Braxton has mouth sores in addition to the fever and infection, so he is a very quiet boy. We're just two lonely guys watching tv and giving an occasional grunt.
Male bonding at its best!
+ P.S. - D-Monk is showing his solidarity with Braxton with a newly shaved head.
