Pop's progress

Pop's progress:
Pop's lab is okay, counts are still low---but stable and weighing in at a strapping 136 lbs this AM. Medications are being reduced, feeling stronger, having some heartburn, and needing to increase calorie intake before discussion of being released from hospital. Otherwise, things remain the same--hoping for a quiet, restful, calorie filled weekend for Pop.

Family's progress:
Kathy is ill with upper respiratory stuff and will not be coming in this week. Everyone knows the importance of staying away from Pop if they are ill.
Kelli is leaving tomorrow to return to Colorado. (She cleaned the entire house--remind me to encourage her to return real soon).
Terry is still here and staying with Pop at the hospital every night (and also during the day).

Have been in touch (by phone or in spirit/mind) with all of our family this week and cannot tell you how special each and everyone one of you are to us. What a legacy you are to us!

Please continue to keep the good thoughts and prayers coming Pop's way.

Love,
Mom
