BJ hasn’t felt well today, and continues battling a very bad headache that Tylenol wasn’t helping. He would rather not take it, but oxycodone took the edge off. When I checked on him early this morning, he was awake, and said he hadn’t slept at all last night. I’m sure that things were whirling around in his mind, just like they were for me.

He had another appointment to get his blood checked this afternoon, and thankfully, the results were better. The rest of the results weren’t back yet, but most importantly, his white blood cell count was 18.5k today, down from 43K yesterday. This is good news! We’ll go back again tomorrow to check again. Hopefully his WBC count will continue to decrease, and the percentage of leukemia blast cells will also decrease.
