Day 10

Today was pretty uneventful. We were actually a little bored...not b/c we didn't have things we could do. We are just kind of tired of being in this little room. Grant is still a little reluctant to leave the room though. Dr. Heym came and gave us a report this afternoon. His levels had gone up... a little. He said they had just inched up, which he was completely happy with. However, he didn't guarantee that we would go home on Monday. He said they are really conservative on the first trip home and he didn't want to send us home until they came up quite a bit more. I asked and he said there wasn't really a magic number we were trying to reach, so we don't really know when he will feel comfortable with that. He is very happy with how his body has responded to the treatments and says he looks and sounds great.
The nurses woke Grant up this morning (at 9) to check his vitals. This kind of woke him up on the wrong side of the bed. He was pretty grumpy all morning. He took a little nap and woke up on the other side of the bed after that. His appetite has really increased, but he can't decide what he wants to eat. He's eating 4 or 5 bites of one thing and then wanting something else. We keep the nurses hopping. We had a picnic outside for lunch so that was a nice change. He's doing great with his medications. We are just waiting now....
