Dad is home!!!

As we speak, my dad is checking out of Loyola hospital!

The other day, I was worried because my mom told me his counts were staying pretty low, and his mouth sores were so bad that he had to take his meals with a side of morphine.

Then, two days ago, Dad said his white blood cell counts went from .3 to .7, then shot up to over 13 today! I guess Uncle Ed's stem cells are doing their job.

They said they'd let him go home when his counts reached 1 - I guess he's always got to be an over-achiever. ;o)

Hey Val,

That's fantastic news!

I'm glad to hear! I've been thinking of your family a lot this past month!

Yay!
