Platelets Low---Chemo No.

Platelets are low so no chemo today. Pop did get an Epogen injection (to raise the red blood cells). Pop is off to McD's. Hgb is 8.3---just .3 away from a transfusion. If need be will request lab on Friday so he does not bottom out by next Monday. He has certainly lost those rosy cheeks.

Pop only has lab and CT ordered next week. Requested also doing cervical (neck) and shoulder CT next week. Let's hear it for Ms. Nuisance or can we huh, can we huh, huh, huh???? Both were added to next weeks order.

Take care of yourselves today.

Love,
Mom

Dad moved out of ICU this afternoon to the stepdown unit. The plan is to get the defibrillator in the next few days and home as soon as possible. Thanks for the good thoughts and prayers.
