The doc came in this morning and his counts are all up pretty good and his fever is and has been down which is a great thing.  She said he has the Noro virus which often times goes along with the typhlitis he has...its an intestinal virus. The treatment for that is 10 days of IV antibiotics.  We are on day 4...so looks like we will be here for a while.  But whatever it takes to get him feeling better!  He has had it pretty rough this week, but as usual he has been sooooo good about everything.  He is definitely ready for this to all be over but he keeps on keeping on.  We are gonna have visitors a lot today...Brian and all the kids are coming up with Debbie to give him his gifts from her.  Then later Jason and Nana and the gang will be up to give him some gifts and visit for a lil bit...hopefully this time he wont kick everyone out! He gets a bit overwhelmed at times and just wants quiet...could be the meds. lol  any way...that should brighten his day seeing everyone...plus Nanny is coming to spend a couple nights with us.  He is excited about that.  Santa stopped by and some teens from a youth group stopped by and gave him some books and things...yesterday a few pilots stopped by and gave him all kinds of stuff...he really liked that.  People are so generous with their time for these kids...It means so much! 
I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and happy new year!  Be safe
