We Are Home!

Just thought we should let you know!

Medical Update:
The fluid from Terry's chest is not likely an infection, but they continued to test it. Terry did begin to feel a bit better the next day after the tap and though he has not regained all the energy he used to have, it is improving slightly.
The doctors were concerned at our leaving and asked that we be very careful and "don't get a cold". We really don't want to cause another concern, and are grateful that we were still there in Seattle under their good care when these other things came up. They really have a great facility and things run quite smoothly considering everything that they do.

WBC - 3.48
Hematocrit - 35
Platelets - 97
Neutrophils - 1.85

Oh - the liver has slightly improved, so the tap must have been a good thing for that in itself. We take any improvement we can get, even slight!!!

They have changed some meds and hope that we return in good condition :)

We plan to have a great time and return for the final stretch.
We hope that your days are good too!

I am so excited that you could be home for this wonderful and exciting time for Skyler. My plans have not changed so I will go up there right after the wedding and if there is anything I can do to help you, you know I will do it. Looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday. Love, Ellen

We in Idaho are also thankful you were given permission to go home for a few days. We pray all the bugs that could harm Terry will be on vacation and no germs will visit. I hope all will go better than you expected and that the Spirit will guide each action taken. Love to each and everyone of you as you go through this wonderful experience of another wedding. Always, Sherri
