both survived...

i made it through a day at work and he made it through a day (semi-alone). ash was home sick but stayed in bed all day.

it seems like everyone has some sort of illness...or maybe we are just more aware since tim can't be exposed to anything right now.

tims appt went pretty well...his platelets held and they decided to wait until thursday to see which direction they are going. they went from an 11 to a 39. (but that was after a transfusion on sunday) now they need to know if these are lingering borrowed platelets or if he is starting to make them on his own. his white blood cell count is starting to rise also...this is a good thing.

hopefully we will know more on thursday...but we are predicting a second round of chemo to start on the 14th if there is a bed available. his throat is still a mess...very painful to eat or drink anything. but he does seem to have some good times between eating. energy level still low-but that is expected throughout this whole process.

megan is flying to florida for a mini-vacation (oops...an educational experience). she leaves on thursday and returns monday night. i have to work the weekend so i may be soliciting rides for the twins and/or tim this weekend...keep your cell phones handy.

thanks for checking in...

tim and tammy
