not so good today

I know that Margie wrote yesterday, but I talked with Joe this morning and he is not feeling well at all. His platelet count is down to 16 and the last time he got that low, he had a nose bleed for 16 hours. They are giving him shots to boost his white cell and red cell counts but that doesn't seem to be doing the trick. He thinks they should give him blood but the doctor disagrees. Dr. Spivey is on vacation (how could he?) and Dr. Cichon (Say shawn) is on duty. Pray if you could. He could really use some short visits if possible. Thanks for caring. His Mom
