UPDATE
His ANC is still zero, but his blood is starting to form monocytes which docs say is indicative of counts going up soon. He'll be able to go home as soon as his counts are around 250 and trending steadily upward.
Other than not sleeping the greatest, he is still feeling pretty well. :)
I've been informed that I should apologize in advance if any girls bump their heads while swooning at the second-to-last photo. Sorry.

Perspective leaves me speechless. Love you Spencer! Always in our prayers :-)
Life can sure change overnight, can't it?
Hope Spence gets to go home soon! Lots of love to all of you!
Oh Lara I love this post! That is just the plain truth and it is awesome to see how easily people can be in your head through your blog...at least a portion of it. I love your beautiful head. Every prayer even meals are for Spencer...
So glad Spencer is feeling a little better and that they were able to find some medicine to help him feel better. Alyvia fasted for Spencer on Sunday (as did our family) and it was her first fast that she didn't complain the whole time about how hungry she was. I'll let her know he's feeling better. I also wanted you to know in case you didn't already, that the primary and other members of the ward are praying for Spencer publicly. He is definitely in everyones thoughts and prayers. We're rooting for you Spencer!!
