More Update!

Well, Dad is still in the hospital and the word yesterday was that the earliest he could leave was about four days, His platelets are not coming up the way they want them to. Dad has started to bribe and harass the nurses to take him home, but so far they haven't complied. As far as the donor goes, last week someone or somebodies were tested and we are waiting to hear. Dad is still in good spirits as always but he is getting tired of the hospital as we all would. Family members I am sure Gina would like me to remind everyone to not forget to check on Mom, and everyone thanks for everything!! Update more as soon as we know more.

just so you know,

Dad is back in the hospital to get more platlets, the expected stay is 3-4 days, so any of the family remember to check on mom even though she would disagree. I am not sure of Dad's room number but I am sure it is on the 8th floor. Take care all

Platlets

Dad is now being checked daily for platlets (sp?) But he is now able to go up to Mckay Dee to get them, which he really appreciates, he levels were getting down to around 70,000 but they are keeping an eye on him and have it in control. No word yet on a donor but we are still praying it happens soon. Because as Dad says I don't have time for this nonsense in the fall! (Classic Dad!) He continues to feel good so we are so grateful for that. I will update more as soon as we hear anything. Dad was thinking he might have to be admitted at the end of this week.

And Back Home Again!

Clair is back home, probably short term until they check his blood levels again. But we love to see him come home as much as possible. And we know that he is happy to be home. Take care all!

Back to the Chemo!!

Well Dad is back in the hospital for another round of chemo, he is in room 844. They are hopeful to find a donor soon, they are looking for an outside donor. So if you are in the area stop by and see him. He has said in the last couple of days, that this is the best he had felt in months. So that is definitely good news! Thanks to you all!

Happy Fathers Day

I just wanted to post a picture and give a quick update on how Dad is doing. He went into the hospital this week for more tests and thought he was going to stay, and they checked him into a room and then quickly checked him out and he was able to come back home! So we hope that means he is doing well. He seems to be well and his spirits seem to be up as long as he gets to come down to the farm once in a while. This picture was on Father's day I thought they were so cute in their matching masks.

Feeling Better

This week Dad is back in the hospital, but feeling much better than he was the week before. He even said how much better the food tasted. We were wondering if the chemo makes the food taste funny to him. We don't think its a different chef at the hospital. Anyway he should be able to come home this weekend and that always makes him very happy. Thank you to everyone who has left guestbook signatures we try to give them to him as often as we see him. Thank you for all the love and prayers!
