more from 14 Feb...

Thursday 14 Feb cont...
I just got back from the hospital, unfortunately without Simon. It's not as frustrating as it seemed last night and this morning though as the results aren't low enough for him to come home. There isn't any way of telling how soon that will be. They will just keep testing each day. His white blood count shot up to 21 (normal range is 2-7) so they were concerned he was getting an infection and his body was fighting it. They couldn't see any other signs of infection, so think his white cells are reacting to the chest port being put in.

He enjoyed having visitors today, as he finds it pretty hard being in there.

Hopefully he will get a good night sleep. It's been pretty interrupted lately as one of his room mates has a snoring, burping and flatulance issue, so that is interesting for everyone.

Tonight mum looked after the kids (thank you so much again mum) while I took dinner up and Simon and I had a romantic valentines/anniversary dinner. (It wasn't romantic, but we had a really nice time).

It's pretty sad not having him home, but nice to look forward to when he is. I still can't get over how much everyone is willing to do for us. It is very amazing.
