Bucky's blood counts have recovered from their drop of last week. His white blood cell count is 9.5, well into the normal range. His platelet count has increased to 134 (up from 105).
The culture they took from his lung when he was in the hospital finally grew something, so they did a CT chest scan yesterday. They gave him some cups to put any phlegm he coughs up so they can test it too. Since he doesn't have any symptoms, this is just a precautionary measure to decide if they need to start him on some antibiotics.
Oh, he weighed 156 pounds! Which means he has gained 12 lbs since leaving the hospital. Only 17 more to go! (I am patting myself on the back for successfully fattening him up this week. Good job. I would like to note that I have never successfully fattened my husband, so this is quite the accomplishment. What's that? You think Bucky is fattening himself up? Fine, let him take the credit.)
Our belongings are being packed up in Alabama tomorrow! Crazy, I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, I was praying that Bucky would have a miraculous recovery and we would just go back to Alabama and keep on living like nothing had happened. On the other hand, we get to live by family! Do expect to get an invitation to come down for a karaoke party in the near future!
Thanks for all of the prayers. We know that Heavenly Father hears and answers them.
Love you all,
TJ
