As of today, Tony is free from his IV (at all times except when he needs magnesium which is every couple of days). They took him off of the IV prograph, and he is now taking a pill. He will be on the prograph (immune suppressant) for at least 6 months. They have also been able to stop the extreme antibiotics through his IV because his counts are sufficiently high. His release date from the hospital is tentatively set for Monday, the 7th. We are super excited. They aren't able to pull the pic line out yet because his platelets are still to low, but they will hopefully come up in the next few days so that he won't have to have it poking out of his arm anymore. He was in good spirits today and is looking forward to coming home soon. He almost feels like he is back to semi-normal (cancer normal, not a year ago normal). His boss from Ernst & Young visited him today and brought a wicked sweet poster from his fellow employees. He loved it! I will have to take a picture of it. He sure misses his buddies down at the E&Y.
