Good Morning

Repeat performance - another good night, only up to run the track to the bathroom. The track is sure getting used a lot, but Marty's weight (liquid retention) is staying down to about her normal weight. Good thing particularly compared to a couple of days ago. White blood cells have come back up to 100 today. We believe that to be a good sign, but we have to check that out with the Doc. in the morning. Just checked with the nurse and she is going to do some checking for us and see what it might be doing. She came back and said that she is very low and needs to be very careful. Did not really say if going up is a good sign or not. Almost seems like she doesn't consider it to be up. Marty will also have to get blood today because the hemoglobin is down. The platelets are going down as usual, probably more of them tomorrow or Thursday.

Today is also a good day with lots of smiles because Eric and Erin are here for the day. They arrived last night, stayed in the motor with me, and now she is with grandma. So that is all good! Marty got dress on Saturday when Jennifer came and did so again today. It is really neat that she is allowed to wear her own pj's all the time and is able to dress when she feels like it and wants to. They really treat you quite well around here, are very kind, compassionate, and try to answer all your questions and meet your needs.

Well I better get this published so that it is still am. Will talk to you all tonight. Have a great day and God bless!

Marty and Jack
