memorial day weekend...

although we are spending a decent portion of each day at the hospital we are still managing to have a good holiday weekend. tim is getting stronger each day and has been eating better and actually craving certain foods. the weather has been great for tim to get out a bit and the kids are still getting to do pretty much what they had planned for the weekend.

overall it has been a good weekend.

tim has reached that "neutropenic" stage where CAUTION is necessary. his white blood cell count is very low and he needs to wear a mask when out and about and watch what he eats. the whole family is using purell constantly. he pretty much just goes back and forth to the hospital. he watches a lot of sports. we have gone from car racing to boxing to tennis to lots of baseball. but he feels a little better each day which is good. today was the first day that he didn't need platelets...this was a good thing.

well, laundry is calling...

thanks for checking in.

tim and tammy
