This is one of those good news/bad news notes (not really bad,just disappointing)
The bad is that
1) Stan has to stay in the hospital until sometime next week because he has to complete the regimen of antibiotics and antivirals they started him on and there are too many and are taken too often to take as an out patient.
2) Although he is better, he is still very confused and has a hard time getting things straight and gets very frustrated and agitated, very easily( phone calls are still difficult for him to follow
3) 0
4) His blood pressure still needs to be regulated
The good is that
1) He IS getting better and slowly stronger (eating and walking a little more each day)
2) His white blood count is still in normal range, all other counts, though low, are going in the right direction and the Dr seems happy with them.
3) He will still have his bone marrow biopsy tomorrow and his PETCT done on Friday so by next week ,we will know what percent of his marrow is donor and what is still his.
So, we go on.

Leslie: It is probably good that Stan is in the hospital for safety reasons. I understand you might have a ton of rain headed your way. If he was at the apartment and needed to get back to the hospital he might encounter some difficulty. I know the apartment sounds better than the hospital but for right now staying put might be the best option.
Give him our love and know that you are both prayed for every day.
