Day +8

The doctor's told us this morning that Dale looked better and Dale agreed that he felt better. His mouth sores are slowly improving along with his bottom. He actually ate 2 bowls of cereal this morning. I usually give my kids non-fat milk but I gave Dale whole milk this morning for the added calories and he really liked it. The doctor's told us that this improvement Dale is experiencing may be a sign that the white cells are starting to grow. His palms are slightly more red which is also a sign. Hopefully it will reflect in his blood test by the middle of next week.
Yesterday, I drove down to Marukai to buy Zippy's frozen chili because for some reason Dale started to crave it. So today for lunch, he had Zippy's chili and rice. He ate until he was full. He said it has been a long time since he felt full. After lucnh, Dale and I played handball against the wall and more baseketball. He even jogged aroung the room with his iv pole. Dale spent an hour with the teacher today and continues to finish up his schoolwork. The cyclosporine level was high again so the blood pressure was a little high again this morning . It should improve as the level goes down.
