Yes, that is what we have come to.  We are all delighted here that the rising white count is due to the bacteria he has acquired since being in the hospital.  The reason this is thrilling is because it is not due to rejection. Of course, it is a mite disturbing that he got it here but he is massively immuno-suppressed.   

Iain has had a tough day personally because of the terrors he is experiencing.  We have been able to keep him awake most of the day, albeit a terrifying day or him.  Unfortunately, they had to give him large amounts of anti anxiety drugs this afternoon to get a nasal feeding tube back in him so he is now zonked out and I could not tell him what his daft friends have been up to.  He is going to be horrified that the green machine has been dented.

As much as I hate to tempt fate, I believe tomorrow we will be able to communicate more effectively.
