Progress

Just a quick update...a lot of activity at home means little time for blogging! Yesterday was a day of real progress for Parrish. His color was better; he seemed somewhat stronger; he got around better; and he just acted more himself. He spent several hours in clinic yesterday morning having labs drawn and getting a bag of fluids (fluids help everything!). Labs showed that all of his levels are moving in the right direction. WBCs are within normal range, and platelets, RBCs, hemoglobin and potassium are inching their way up.

Parrish continues to rest and work on walking little bits here and there. He is walking to the stop sign and back a couple times a day. And, he managed to walk from the parking deck to the BMT clinic yesterday morning (anyone who has spent any time at UAB knows this is no small feat). His job now is to keep eating and drinking. The more he eats and drinks, the less IV fluids he will need in clinic. That translates to less time at the doctor and more time doing way more fun things!

We are all so thankful for continued progress.

Much love,

Molly
