August 14, 2017 Day +4

Happy Monday! 

We haven’t talked about Chris’ blood counts in a long time because they were doing pretty good. However, with his last chemo treatment his counts are going down, which is the purpose of the treatments. White blood count is down to almost zero, where you and I would be over 900! Hemoglobin and platelets are low but not low enough to need a transfusion yet. We are told that, for the next 10-12 days all of his counts will be dropping. After the 10-12 days his body will start to build up his white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets. In the mean time, the Nurse Practitioner told my honey, that if he continues to eat and move he may be able to get out of the hospital by the end of the month! That would be over a week sooner than we thought! Superman!!!

A few people have asked about sending a card to Chris. Please send them to our home address and I will make sure he receives them. The last time we were here quite a few cards were returned for some reason. 

Love and hugs to all!
