Dearest Family and Friends,
We have decided to move to the OSU Cancer Center in Columbus! They have doctors that specialize in leukemia and specifically Acute Myeloid Leukemia! We should be heading down Monday but possibly Tuesday. The infectious disease doctor here would like to see Chris’ white blood count go up more before releasing us to move him. I think we are both a little nervous about this move mostly because of the unknown. I’m just trying to handle one day at a time, sometimes one hour at a time. PRAY! Will it get warmer sooner since we are so far south?😁
White blood count was at 2.3 today! We are cautiously excited about that. His nurse said when there is a jump like that, .9 to 2.3, it usually goes down the next day! All of his other numbers were good except magnesium again. Does food have magnesium in it? Anybody know? We have been pushing protein so if there is food with magnesium in it, we will push that too. I think my sister Cindy and I are driving Chris crazy about eating proteins so we could switch to magnesium now to mix it up! Lol!
Chris was very happy when some of his Alea family visited today! Thanks Nick, George, Pete and Jim for making the trip up! Also March Madness has been good for him. He filled out some bracket thing and seems excited about some of the games.
Hugs to all!😘

Nuts are high in magnesium and also leafy greens. From what I understand you need to take calcium and vitamin D3 to help with absorption.
