Watch Golf, Nap, REPEAT...

Daddy received his first shot yesterday to start boosting his white blood count. His level went from 0.1 yesterday to 0.2 today, but they really didn't expect to see a change until Monday. The shot causes flu-like symptoms, so he is feeling pretty tired and sore. He also received platelets today, but his numbers look good going into tomorrow's treatment. He will continue to receive his shot each day.

Christy returned from Spicewood yesterday and rode in the really cool plane pictured above! They had beautiful weather for flying!! Daddy and I were laying pretty low in the ol' apartment. We both fell asleep watching the Colonial. I can't tell you the last time I had a nap in the middle of the day! It was fabulous!!

Daddy also received some good news about a couple of his fellow transplant patients. He hadn't seen either of them in a couple of days and was a little concerned. It turns out that one finished his treatment and was sent home to Austin. The other suffered a fall on the way back to the apartment complex, but has rebounded well. He may be going home soon, also. They were both ahead of Daddy in their transplants, and we are so thankful that they're doing well! I know it gives Daddy more reason to stay focused and positive!!

Although my day at home was a bit more hectic today, I am hoping that Daddy was able to enjoy another afternoon of watching golf and napping! He certainly deserves it!

Have a great week!
