Still Coming Up

Tuesday and Wednesday were good days again as far as Terry's blood counts. He had to get magnesium on Tuesday but not Wednesday. His white blood cell count on Wednesday was at 8.31 and his platelets were at 131. He is having some shoulder pain and the medicine he is taking makes him sleep. He is still eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with the crust cut off. Thanks to all of you who have sent food. He is gradually trying a bite or two but the rest of the family is enjoying it very much. Alyce said today that they will be so glad when they can skip a day going to the hospital and just sleep late. "Normal" life is still a long way off, but we are so thankful for his progress. We got Mom in the Trussville Healthcare/Golden Living Nursing Home on Tuesday. I was at the hospital at 8am along with Butch but nobody got in a hurry so it took until 2pm to get her to the Nursing Home. She is confused, hurting and sad. Please pray for Rick's family on Thursday as we have the funeral and burial of our little angel niece, Chloe. Thank you for caring, Karen
