Blood Counts

Jeff's white and red blood counts are nearing normal, but his platelets still have a way to go. While he hasn't needed any transfusions, and Mark's cells are making some platelets, they haven't yet showed a complete recovery. Although this isn't all that unusual, it is still frustrating for us. Hopefully, there is nothing out of the ordinary causing the problem, and the cells will recover on their own...in the mean time, we wait and hope that Jeff's body is healing the way it is supposed to.

Visits to Day Hospital have been reduced to every other day, and on Monday we'll go to clinic to see Dr. Claxton. If he thinks that Jeff is stable enough, visits will be reduced even further, and we may be able to commute back and forth from home.

Jamie,I know there is no place like home, but let Jeff get stronger so the trip back and forth would not be so hard for him. I am so anxious to see the little guy!! The pictures are beautiful...Hope to see you soon. Love you all Aunt Florencie

Jeff,
Eat, play and sleep. You and little Jeff have the same routine right now and while he'll continue to grow you will continue to heal.
Congratulations on being hospital-free for 10 days!
