Preliminary Numbers!!!

Well, Wendee is at Baylor with Daddy and Christy today. The doctor has not come in to make it official but the nurse let them peek at the Lab test results and........(drum roll please)............
his white blood cell count is 9.2..........remember he only needed a 4.0 to be released to go home for a few a week or so. They are waiting on the official go ahead after the doctor comes in to look over the results, but it's looking like a thumbs up on heading to the lake for a little while. I know that Daddy is SO EXCITED to get a little freedom. We have received the new transplant calendar and if everything goes well, we will start all of that on May 14th! Thank you so much for your prayers! God Is So Good!
P.S. Don't fret because even when he is home we will keep you updated here at the good old blog. Please continue to call Christy, TeeLee and Wendee for updates. Daddy is still extremely tired and probably doesn't need to be fielding phones calls himself. We love and appreciate all of you!

UPDATE: As of 2:00PM today, Christy's car was loaded and they were just about ready to head to the lake! Daddy also learned that he will not have to come back for his appointment on Tuesday because his numbers were so good. They took out his pic line and he is FREE until May 12th!! I should let you know that he ate Whataburger last night before receiving these outstanding results. I think we have a new cancer treatment on our hands...Whataburger, Flintstones vitamins and endless supplies of ice cream! :-)
