All Blood Counts Rising, Yippee!

They gave me the w-e off from the clinic. All of my blood counts are rising again. Yippee! My platelets were up from 24,000 to 32,000. My hemoglobin increased from 10.3 to 10.7 (giving me an especially good row workout this morning), and my white cell count was up from 300 to 400. So I am officially on the mend. Holly and I will probably head to Asheville later today with all of this good news.

That's great! I'd love to catch up with you, but I'm working tomorrow 9-5 at the west clinic. Will you leave Monday morning or Sunday night? If you are leaving Monday, maybe I could drop by Sunday night with some dinner for you guys? Let me know!

Tree, Hope you and Holly are having a great weekend in Asheville. Glad your counts are on the way back up. Have you guys heard of Cornucopia House in Chapel Hill? It is a nonprofit that supports folks with cancer and their friends and family. They have some good programs--worth checking out.
Enjoy the mountain house and friends in Asheville, and we'll see you soon.
