double entry

Well, Joey is doing pretty good. He had some bad times with some unstoppable bleeding last week but with 6 pints of blood and 3 bags of platelets he is okay now. This week he is facing another intrathecal where they put chemo into his spine after taking a sample to test. He has to stay flat for 4 to 6 hours after, so he is not too fond of this procedure. His platelet count is 114thousand so they will be starting another round of chemo soon. He really appreciates all the people who came to see him the past couple of weeks. It makes a big difference to him, even if it is a short visit. He tends to doze off, but will wake shortly, so be patient and bring a friend to talk to while you wait. So keep up the good work. See you at the hospital.
