Wednesday Update

Today was a very long day.....We started the day with a recheck in the Wilmer eye institute. You'll be happy to know that Trish's eyes passed the test. The doctor says they are much better and we should just follow the same steps if it were to reoccur.

We than started the normal IPOP appointment. Trish got platlets today and we ended up getting an x-ray and a CT just to tell us everything was ok. Better safe than sorry I guess. Some good news is that Trish's white counts have increased. They were 120 today. Not anything to get too excited about. Neutrophils are the real hero of the immune system and they are still a bit away from arriving.

Dr. Griffiths met with us today and she said that she'd like to wait longer before the biopsy this time to insure that the insurance will accept the results and she will be in remission.

The boys are coming up this weekend and Trish had me go to the store tonight to get her all of her necessary baking supplies. Aunt Mary called a friend of hers to borrow her kitchen aid mixer so that Trish would have the proper tools. The boys should be in for a real treat this weekend.

I'd like to thank everyone who has responded with gracious donations already to our need for fundraising. For an explanation or to donate click on the "What more can I do" link on the left. If you'd like to help plan or work on fundraising activties, please contact my Mom or Trish's sister.

Tomorrow should be a long day of focusing on work-work, while Trish starts her baking. Her cousin Liz and husband Paul sent her a Rachael Ray cookbook recently and she is making me dinner from this book tomorrow night too.....Should be an enjoyable busy day.
