Since Daddy wasn't able to enjoy his Memorial Day doing what he loves...COOKING, Eric and I took him some ribs, sausage, corn on the cob, potato salad, baked beans, and corn/bean relish. I'm not sure how much he will feel like eating, but I just coudn't imagine not sharing some great food with our favorite veteran today! :-)
His white blood counts are still dropping and he may be receiving some blood tomorrow. It will depend on how much some of the other counts have dropped. Christy is great about writing things down and making notes, but I don't remember exactly which counts we were looking at. She does a much better job than me of keeping up with the technical information!
He will receive a shot every day starting on the 30th that will help boost his white blood count. This is what helps his count go up more quickly. Remember when his count last month went from 2.5 to 9.2! We are hoping for the same this go around. In fact, Daddy has been dropping hints that he plans to be going home on June 4th. I love that he is setting goals and staying positive!
As Whiskey Bob so eloquently put it..."Wally fought for his country and now he is fighting for his life. What an appropriate weekend for our warrior to win another battle." I couldn't be more proud of my dad on this Memorial Day!
Thanks for the continued prayers and positive thoughts!
