Last year on Memorial Day, we were right here, on 7E. Today while doing my sixty billionth lap around the corridor, I was trying to decide how many different rooms on this floor we're stayed in at one time or another. It's either five or six.
Jimmy's had a little fever again, but we're hoping that we're about to start engrafting. His WBC was .3 this morning: minuscule but detectable. He has not needed blood or platelets today, just antibiotics and electrolytes
His hair started falling out last night, so we shaved it off again; when he starts shedding, it makes such an awful mess. This is the third time we've been through this, so the only trauma now is over how hot he wants to keep the room to keep his bald head warm.
