Today's Lab Work

Ray was back to the Dr. today for lab tests. His counts are low, but not dangerously low. The Dr. did order three shots for him that had to be taken at the hospital. (out-patient) These shots will help to bring his counts back up. We are trying desperately to keep him out of the hospital through this round, even as he bottoms out. Since the last round went smoother than the first, I think he'll be able to handle it OK at home and so does the Dr. However, he will be visiting the Dr. every other day for a while.

We took a look back over the past three months, and realized that in the past 90 days, he has spent 43 in the hospital. Needless to say, he is so tired of being in there that he just cannot stand the idea of one more day in that place.

We pray he stays healthy, especially as flu and cold season (and the holidays) are closing in.

Love you all,
Kim
