Day 25 "old"..each hour changes..

As always, information will be corrected/clarified..so regarding the vaccination comments from yesterday..here goes:

CLARIFICATION** You CAN VISIT IF you have had the swine flu or 'normal' flu vaccination, BUT NO visit if you have had the NASAL vaccination..stay tuned if this changes! You will of course wear the mask and gloves. And hopefully she will be awake upon your visit.
And again, NO children under 18. But feel free to tell a cute childhood story..

OK..so today saw the numbers drop again. 1.4 (1400) for the whites, the platelets 19K..
She was given platelets to boost the count for the scope procedure she WAS to have, but they actually went down to 15k, so the procedure was cancelled. Just too risky with low platelets to go internal...She will receive more tomorrow, Wednesday, hopefully they will rise, thus allowing the scope procedure possible. Becky may just wake up and see them higher. This we pray for..
She felt pretty good today though. She was matter-of-factly about the procedure cancellation. She knew it would be best to have the plates at a higher level. I think she gets the 'good attitude' award today. Yes, So thankful she was having a 'semi-feel good' day. And yes, this all seems like a surreal rollercoaster ride at times..Up, down, stop, hey let's ride again..and so on..
But she is staying on this 'ride' until there is smooth tracking..

As always, celebrate life...Smile, tell that mirror, it's gonna be a good day..

Much love,

Bill & Becky
