tuesday morning update...

although i haven't spoken to him directly this morning, all seems to be going ok. it is getting much quieter in the room-i think we are running out of things to talk about-can you believe that one.

he is tired of this whole thing, but is still being a model patient. they are joking about the fact that physical therapy came by yesterday to take tim for a walk and the word on the street was that tim took physical therapy for a walk. ( i don't think he will be back for awhile).

the appetite is not great, but he is still able to eat enough to keep him off the nutritional IV...that is his goal. his WBC (white blood cell count) is expected to bottom out today or tomorrow...this is when he is probably the most vulnerable to infections and fevers. although it is a dangerous time, it is a necessary time-tims cells must die out so that marks cells can take over. (sounds like a sermon illustration doesn't it).

well, i must get things in gear here...ashley is feeling much better and is going to school today and mom got her much needed break. things are moving along smoothly so far.

thanks for checking in...

Praying for all to go well today and tomorrow and for all of Tim's cells to go away! Modern medicine added to continuous prayer is a miracle in the making! Have a great day Tim and Tammy.
