Things are going pretty well today. Her counts are going up, but she's not above 500 yet. She seems to wake up a little cranky, but once she gets calmed down she is really playful. We rock-a-byed and played a lot this morning. She played with color crayons and an empty cup of coffee. Then, this afternoon she played in a bucket of water for bath time. She is much happier. We have been turning down her morphine drip each day...and that seems to help her attitude be better. Frustrated crankiness is a side effect of the morphine. Her mouth seems to be healing up now. She is still a little drooly, but nothing like it was before. It sounds like we may be able to transfer back to the Group Health hospital soon. That is very exciting for us. We'll just see how things go.
