Leif continues to improve daily. His health does, too. He had three doctor visits today - pulmonologist, infectious disease specialist, oncologist - none of whom had much to report. They are still investigating what bug(s) he has, so they can figure out which antibiotics he needs, for how long, and which they can discontinue.
His blood counts are up, although not spectactularly so. He hasn't needed platelets, although he's scheduled to get blood sometime today. His appetite is improving. Speaking of appetite, he's been working with the hospital nutrition staff to improve what they can give him to eat. Proof of his success:
In case you can't tell, that's a slice of quiche, with sauteed mushrooms, kale, and arugula. Real Leif chow!
No word on when he can get out of here, yet. Not until the end of the week at the earliest.
