A Well Deserved Day OFF!!

Well, Daddy's numbers are looking great! His white blood count went from 1.2 to 2.6! His other counts look good, too. Christy gave me all the specifics, but all I needed to hear was that they were good!! He finished with his dripping early and was out for an afternoon on the town. He wanted Whataburger, so he and Christy found one and took lunch to White Rock Lake. It started to rain, but they enjoyed their lunch in the car, which was a welcome change from the apartment!

Daddy is pictured above with his AWESOME doctor, Dr. Agura! (He is a former ski patrolman, by the way, but we like him despite that!!) He gave Daddy the day off tomorrow...no bloodwork, no dripping!! They will check his counts on Friday and if everything goes as expected, he and Christy will be headed to Spicewood on Friday afternoon!! As we say in Texas...YEE-HAW!!!!

We are so thankful for the staff at Baylor Hospital, specifically the folks at the Bone Marrow Transplant Clinic! They have been nothing but top notch, and we have been so blessed by the level of care that Daddy has received throughout his time here. They have listened to his stories when he was full of spunk, and kept his spirits up on days when it was hard for him to muster much energy. We could not have asked for more!

We are also grateful for all the friends and family who continue to pray and send well wishes! I am still amazed at all the folks who love Daddy ALMOST as much as I do! ;-)

Cheers!
