I got my new blood today.  I already feel better.  I think a couple of days I will feel like a new person.  They are still watching my platelets closely since they are so low.  Hopefully they will come up by Monday…when I have to have another blood test.  I guess it will always be in flux for awhile depending on the ups and downs of my blood work.  When all is in the normal range then it will be a for sure upswing.  I do have a CT scan on Monday where they will have to give me an IV.  I do not look forward to that. The next week I go to the doc to hear what is in the scan…hopefully nothing.  Today was a step in the total healing process and I learned even more about blood…more later on that.

Bill’s dad was just a few doors down from me today.  He was doing well…up and around and everything.  Then they gave him his first food in a few days and he threw it all up.  So he is back on IV.  Please pray for him to get stronger so he can go home.  All of us are tired of hospitals!
