Dad's WBC hit .5 today - yeah. I don't know his ANCs for the day, but his platelets doubled and the nurse said that was really good because those are usually the last thing to improve. Yesterday's ANC went down a little from 160 to 150. Dad didn't have any bands which is confusing because he had them on Tuesday - where the heck did they go?
Anyways....my visit today was pretty uneventful. Dad was very quiet, pretty tired and just grumpy, really. Not that I blame him one bit for feeling blue. I just wish a little of the good ol' fighting Irish man we're used to seeing would resurface. He did get a little spark in his eye while I was relating a story about the twins which was funny.
He's still not eating and they have him on IV fluids and a ton of other stuff. His mouth sores are improving, but he's still uncomfortable. He still has nausea off and on too.
When I left he gave me a tiny wave with his pointer finger on his lap while he dozed, so I knew he realized I was leaving.
I won't be able to update until Monday as we're heading to Kansas City for a family wedding tomorrow.
Please keep us in your prayers as you have done. We are so thankful. If you think about it this weekend, send my Dad a card. Thanks!
