Medical News

Terry's counts for today are keeping us on the weekly doctor visits:
WBC = 2.8(L)
RBC = 3.07(L)
Platelets = 72(L)
Neutrophils 1.5(L)
Still poppin the calcium and potassium supplements since those counts remain low.
Liver functions remain high.
Glucose was high again today too, but we think that is because of lunch just before our appointment. We need to have them schedule us before lunch, not after it. Moses Lake Clinic Oncology department is having some issues right now so we'll just take what they give us.

It is interesting to look at the lab results because every number that means anything is either low or high. If it doesn't matter, it's just right. As for how Terry is feeling - well, he is doing fine, other than feeling tired easily or often.

Other news on the medical front is that we received a call from SCCA last week to set up his 1 year appointments, which will be the last week of April.

Well... how about burying a dirty dishrag at midnight when it's a quarter moon, I've heard that helps your blood counts?!

A year and counting....almost. I am so thankful for all that has been done to help Terry and pray things will start improving more and quickly. I've never heard about the dirty dishrag deal but it sounds interesting.
