Counts going up!

Good Morning everyone.

It’s a beautiful Thursday and things are going OK in Houston. Jennifer is still fighting the headaches but we are controlling them must of the time. Her blood pressure is still very high and they are changing the medicine again. We are watching the blood pressure very close.

They are starting to take her off some of the medicines. Her counts are starting to go up. White cells/Timcells are at .35, her ANC is at 3.6 (Doctor is happy) they want her at 5.0 on the ANC, her platelets are at 38 (she received platelets yesterday) and her HGB is at 9.8 (she had 2 units of blood on Tuesday). Please go out and give.

Doctors feel that we have 10 to 14 more days in the hospital. We just have to keep the blood pressure and headaches under control and keep building the counts up.

Thanks for all the comments on the web page, cards from the hospital and most of all, the PRAYERS!!!

PS…. Mary has her new cell phone….. same number.
