sleeping beauty...

well...i am not sure about the beauty part tonight but he sure is sleeping!!! it is more like sleeping chipmunk. he had quite a cocktail today of benadryl plus valium plus the anethesia. he is totally wiped!!! this is a good thing i guess.

it is hard to exactly say how he is doing because all he is doing is sleeping, but according to the oral surgeon he did GREAT!! his platelets that he borrowed from the blood bank really did the trick. his count went from a 44 this morning to a 106 this afternoon.

can't really say much more than that for now. we will have to wait until he wakes up and i can survey the damage. we changed the packing in his mouth earlier...that was gross. he took some pain meds and went back to sleep. i will have a better perspective in the morning.

thanks for all your concerns and prayers. everyone has been so great. (i just got off the phone with the charge nurse of the cancer center who had run into him this morning at HMC. she had him on her mind all day long worrying about how he made out-so she looked up our number and called the house tonight to make sure that he did ok-that was sweet).

thanks for checking in...i will shoot out another update soon.
