good news in small bytes

The doctors are beginning to taper off Michaels Morphine.

They are adding more saline to see if dehydration is causing the high breathing and heart rates.

His white blood cell count is up from 0.4 a couple of days ago to 1.4
If they can get his platelets and cell count up enough they can do an enima to help him go poop and get things moving.


Michaels Alpha pherine (I think that's what it is called) reading which is a liver enzyme reading of some sort that has decreased from 6400 to 1200 when he was on his chemo, so they have to do another test to see if it remains down. This enzyme is influenced by the cancer so if it is truly decreasing then his cancer is getting killed off by the chemo, which is good.
We are waiting on the doctors to do some more tests for this.

Michael may get a CT scan today on his lungs also.

More later
