Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen,
Today has been a wonderful day! My dad is coming home tomorrow!!! He will be home for about two weeks before he does a bone marrow test to make sure he is in full remission. If he is, he will either go to the U of M hospital or the Mayo clinic for his transplant! Wishing you all the love and luck in this new year!

Good Evening Everyone,
Good news today! My dads white blood cell count finally went up to 1.0! This is very good. His appetite is returning as well. He ate an entire personal sized pizza today plus breakfast and lunch! Thats all for now but we are very excited about the turn in his blood cell count.

Good Evening Everyone,
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. My family enjoyed some quality time together. We were all happy and in good spirits. Everything is staying the same right now. Unfortunately my dad's white blood cell count isn't going up. That is what needs to happen. It needs to be at 1.5 before he can come home. If you have visited him recently he has also lost a lot of weight. When i say a lot of weight I mean from 240 to 185 in about two months. If you visit coming in the next few weeks, please don't bring food like cookies or anything with high amounts of sugar. We want him to get nutritious meals with protein! We would also like to thank you all for your continuing support. We are so very blessed! Every time my dad gets a card or a visit he gets a bit happier. I will post later on in the week or if anything changes. Have a wonderful new year!

Good Day
Good Evening Everyone,
Today has been a very good day for my dad! He has been in good spirits all day eating a subway, oranges, a fruit bar and a chocolate! His white blood cell count went down from 0.7 to 0.6 today but it has been jumping back and forth increasing after every time it goes down! It was my 17th birthday today and it was so nice to spend time with him. He went for four walks and we played a game called trouble:) It was a very nice way to spend my birthday:)Thank you for your love and support. We wish you all a wonderful Christmas! Please remember my dad in your prayers.

Good Evening Everyone,
Nothing has changed today. My dad is still at .4 for his white blood count. Things are pretty stable and his lung infection is getting better. It been a rough week emotionally for my dad however. Words of encouragement and humor would be the best if your going to visit or send a card! Thank you for your love and support. We will always be grateful.

Hello Everyone,
I truly do apologize for not posting anything the last few days. There really isn't much to report. My dad is in a stable condition today. His white blood cell count has come up from .1 to .4 in the last three days. The doctors have said that that number should come up within the next week or so. He continues to have his lung infection, but with his blood count rising they think that it will get better. Please continue your visiting. Its amazing how hearing funny stories and seeing different faces can make my dad so happy. That is his best medicine...laughter! Thank you for your support and love in these dark winter months!
