Good news, Bloggers!
Braxton's vitals are getting better.
Braxton's team of doctors, nurses, residents, and others stopped in at 9:30 this morning. The news was mostly good.
All of the things we have been looking for are coming about. Braxton was fever free all night. His white cell and neutrafil counts have jumped dramatically: 4300 and 2300 respectively! So he is on the road to going home in another day or two.
On the other hand, Braxton is still really bothered by his mouth sores. Hopefully those will start getting better now that his blood is healthier.
Also, Braxton's kidney functions is down somewhat. This is a common side effect with some of the antibiotics he has been receiving. The doctors are switching some of hid meds today to try to keep treating the infection but also to improve kidney function. We'll keep our fingers crossed.
