Evening update

We met my Mom at the Muny tonight for "Footloose" and she shared some not so great news. Apparently Dad's numbers have been dropping - drastically, today. That means his blood cell counts, platelets etc. which had been holding steady, started falling. I didn't realize that this was a bad sign, but thought it was merely a sign of his condition with the GVHD. We don't have any specifics or details right now. They are running some more tests.

Dad's doctor, who's been with him all the way, actually came in to talk to them tonight, which is not usually a great indicator. Mom didn't want to elaborate further at the Muny, so I will talk with her more tomorrow. She was understandably upset. From what I can infer from her and the fact that Dad's counts are suffering, I am anticipating grave information.

Please pray for my Dad and for my Mom. For all of us. Thank you.
