Still Out

Well, we were only supposed to be out of the hospital for five days, but his counts were not high enough to re-admit for round 5. In fact they were so low he almost had to have a transfusion while he was out. The plan is to start round 5 on Monday. We have had a very nice break off. We haven't been able to do that much because he is not supposed to be around large groups of people with his counts this low. He has labs and a clinic appointment tomorrow morning so we will find out if they are high enough to be able to take him to the zoo finally!!! Other then his counts taking a long time to recover, he has been doing pretty well. He is eating and drinking fine, well better at least, no weight loss. Round four was the harshest on his body but round 5 is no piece of cake either. Round five will take the longest to recover from. Probably a total time period of two months. I was hoping we would be out of here by the end of June or early July, but it's not looking too good for that. It really does feel like we have been here much longer then we have, and the time left seems like an eternity, but we'll make it through. I am looking so forward to going home!!!!!! I never thought I would miss Alaska as much as I do. Please continue to pray and I will get some new pics out soon. God Bless!
