holding steady

Joe's in good spirits lately, although he is nutrapenic. Some of his other blood counts have fallen as well, but they've given him drugs and transfusions and he doesn't seem nearly as hard hit this round as he has in the past. Dad is also doing extremely well. He was sent home Monday, and since Mom is staying home with him for the most part, Joe's spending his days alone, so if you're available during the day you might make a special effort to get by to see him. That's about it for now!
