25 December 2012

Merry Christmas to Family and Friends from my hospital bed. 

It's possible I'll head home today but also possible I won't.
An odd experience to hang on Christmas Day alone.  Oxygen issues have me staying for awhile and some cloudiness on my chest x-ray.  Until that seems clear, I'm here. 

The good news is that today's blood counts are much better than any since arriving.  Platelets stayed high for a day at 20 after being at 3 from transfusion yesterday.  Hemoglobin is steady at 8.7.  White cells are actually up to 1.9 from 1.7.

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas.

  2. Merry Christmas Ed. Thinking of you often, and had a couple extra cookies for you. We had a nice new snow and a 3-mile run attached to the in-laws dog (my first run since last x-mas according to Jen). Guess I don't run just for the fun of it much.

    Much love,
    Ben

    1. I heard running can be bad for the knees, so just think about how you saved them such stress for a year.
