09/27/2007 Evening Update

September 27th, 2007 by shahin

Being the last update I do before I head home, it gives me so much joy to tell you that Shahin has officially been taken off the ‘critical’ list and moved to the ‘stable’ list.  Makes my departure a little more tolerable.

His white cell count is now at 27,000.  His doctor tells us that getting him in the normal range will probably take a while, but he is very optimistic he will be getting there soon enough.

Beside the white count, the next two big events we are looking for are for Shahin to pass gas and urine.  My mom and I laugh every time we talk about this as we have never prayed so hard for the sound of gas being passed!!!

We still have the bleeding and the kidney issues.  But the doctors are not going to address those right now at the cost of destabilizing him.  Probably next week or so before they really dig into it.

The future updates may not be as regular or frequent as they have been, but they will be coming.  Just do not worry if one doesn’t get posted on any given day.

I was lovingly threatened by close friends of Shahin’s to promote him to a 6 because of him being off the critical list.  I was saving it for when he hit the teens with his white cell count.  So, expect him to stay at a 6 for a while! OK Paul and Kathy???!!!!

Official score…. SIX!
