Appointment Report!

We had our first visit to Dr. Julie Smith since our return home. It was a pleasant reunion, almost a welcome home type experience. Our "old friends" were there to greet us and help us thru our visit. We also met a new friend and found her to be a delightful addition to the staff.

We didn't really learn much. That's not too unusual though. We had blood work after the visit so we didn't get to discuss it, but they faxed us the results. Next week we'll have the lab work done before the visit so we can talk about it.

Terry's white blood counts are low. That makes me a bit nervous. His reds are low too, but we are hoping that changes now that he has been off the Valganciclovir for a couple days. Platelets are still low, glucose is high, creatinine is low.... We are anxious to see how the numbers might change in the next couple weeks of follow up lab work.

It's good to be back!

We are all so glad that you are back also. I can't even imagine what it has been like trying to run your home long distance or be concerned for the health of Terry and all that it entails. You are a wonderful sister-in-law and I love you so much. Tell the family all hello and we will continue to pray for improved health for Terry. Love you brother. Love, Ellen

O.K. everyone let's pray for higher counts---and let's all get our flu shots!
