White Count Still Up -- Fore!


Mom called to give me the morning report . . . Pop finished the last of 5 chemo treatments yesterday.  And his buddies from the golf course came to visit. His white count was still up, so it was a good time for visitors.  (A lowered white count usually follows chemo treatments, and a lowered white count means he'll be very vulnerable to viruses, bugs and germs.) More chairs were brought into the room to seat the golf gang, and pop was out of bed and in a chair too for quite a while during the day.

This morning, breakfast and the respiratory therapist arrived at the exact same time.  What a dilemma . . .eggs or breathing?

Terry's still in town, staying with pop at night in the hospital and Lindsay is still expected in on Friday.  Join us in wishing mom a happy birthday! (It was on the 24th.)

As always, your prayers and wishes are acknowledged and greatly appreciated. The support we're getting from everyone is tremendous!

Love Kat
