2 nights, 3 days and 4 Lego sets later, we're out of here! Almost.
Eric has had 48 hours of IV antibiotics, as a precaution, but his blood and urine cultures were negative. Surprisingly, his nasal swab was also negative, but he clearly has a virus. That just means it's not one of the common viruses they test for. Most of his symptoms are gone now, but he developed a nasty cough. Yesterday's doctor sent him for a chest x-ray because she suspected pneumonia, but that was negative also.
Eric received a platelet transfusion on Sunday when we were admitted and amazingly his platelet count is still decent today. Unfortunately, his hemoglobin is dipping faster than I'd like. He had a red blood cell transfusion in clinic Friday and is having another before we head out. That's why we're still here (4:45pm on Tuesday); just waiting for the blood to finish and then we're headed out into rush hour traffic. Though I'm so happy to sleep in my own bed that I don't think I care.
Eric's Oncologist wants to see him in the clinic on Friday and then he starts another round of treatment Monday.
Thank you to Nikki and Chuck for the Lego :)
