thursday night

day hospital visit was pretty uneventful today. he got the usual 1 liter of fluids and they ran some bloodwork. his platelets are starting to drop...from 95 to 39. his WBC count is starting to drop...from 12.5 to 3.0. they are going to try to wait until sunday to re-check...unless he starts bleeding, then we are to go in on saturday.

he still has pretty rough mornings and evenings but the time in between seems to be getting a little better.

it would be hard for me to list all the symptoms and side effects he has, but please be aware that there are many. too many to list. they vary somewhat from day to day. when you see him out and about that doesn't necessarily mean that he feels well. i actually can not tell you the last time that he actually felt well. but he will "suck it up" and try to get out and do as much as he can. he has been a real trooper...but he still has many many issues. keep praying.

the twins and i just got home from the Fiddler on the Roof musical production at the harrisburg christian school...GREAT JOB!!!! 5 daughters...really started to feel bad for that guy!!!! very talented group of performers and vocals (bethany) and sound and light guys (see, i didn't forget you daniel).

getting close to bed-time...kids have "juice" in the morning. this is a 6:30am breakfast before school with kids from their youth group. like kelsey would say...it is just a good way to start your day.

thanks for checking in...
