Joe's immune system has crashed, as expected. His white blood cell count, which is supposed to be 11, is .7 this morning. What that means to you, dear Joe watchees, is that his visitors need to be limited (whatever that means. I'm not sure if it means less people should come or less at a time or what.) But if you are sick at all, live with anyone that's sick, or have been exposed to sickness you should stay at home, but feel free to leave comments on here so Joe will know that you still love him! Probably school children and small kids need not apply since they are a regular breeding ground of germs. No offense, kiddos! If you do come, you must wash your hands upon entering the room and put on a mask that is in a case right next to the sink on the wall. Joe cannot have uncooked foods, including fresh fruits, and also cannot receive potted OR cut plants or flowers. As the fund raiser, I would encourage you to put the amount you WOULD have spent on flowers into a donation instead! :)
This isn't a bad sign, this is a part of chemo. It just means everyone has to be very careful. If he catches ANYTHING, it could spell the end for our hero since he can't even fight off even the smallest cold! We all appreciate your cooperation.

Hi, this is Ta, I've just heard from Mandy about your blog and I think its a great idea! Please let Joey know that Kan and I wish he gets well soon, we send our prayers every day. We both caught a cold a few weeks ago and just started to recover, once we are completely free of germs, we will rush to see you, Joey!
Hugs n Kisses (^_^)
Ta and Kan
ps. Check out Tony before he enters the room, I think he might have caught a cold but he doesn't realize it
Joe,
We're pulling for you here in Montana. You're too young to get whupped by this thing. Fight like you've never fought before.
Gary Christopher
PS - After this is over, no more burgers/fries/shakes, etc. (Watch "Supersize Me")!
