"Cookin' with gas"

Gil's numbers are kickin' butt!
Hemoglobin steady at 10.5
Platelets up to 18,000
White Blood Count (drum roll) 1.4 (yesterday .5)
Neutephils (another part of the immune system) 1000 (yesterday 250)

His new marrow is being incredibly productive! To put it in perspective, normal White Blood Count is 8-10, as I understand it. So he has a way to go, but is ahead of expectations!

Strength is also improving. We made a full loop of the 6th floor in addition to some physical therapy on stairs.

Food is still ho hum, but he's made it through some soup as well as some of the egg custard I made for him when I went back to the farm last night.

Lookin' GOOD!
