Return to Bas(e) Camp

Good news! Bas was discharged early this afternoon after some comfortably low temperatures and blood work that showed a reduced white cell count! It's still uncertain as to what has caused the fevers, but it does appear that he's on the way back to good health.

He appears to be happy to be home as well. The hospital environment was just a little too much for him I think. All that unfamiliarity really wasn't helping him very much at all (though he did seem to like his nurse. He'd most often have something to say to her and would respond to her questions and give her a smile, even when he was feeling like crap). When we got him home he went straight to sleep, was fine to let us leave him in his bed alone (which was unheard of while he was in hopsital) and has even been eating better! He's a lot cheerier and talkative as well. Given the way he's going, I'd say he'll be close to 100% by the end of the week.

It'll be great to get a good night's sleep in our own beds tonight. I think we'll all benefit from it.
