today or tomorrow

Today was another good day for Joe. He walked to the nurses station with the walker and a physical therapist named Kenny. He is getting stronger and his left arm has more movement in it than it has had in a long time. He was going to have a spinal tap but it has been put off until tomorrow. He said he has really appreciated all the people who visited him or called. It makes all the difference to him. His counts are really good. His platelets are up to 114 thousand which is close to normal. Last week was really rough with 3 units of platelets and about 6 bags of blood. he says he feels like a vampire. He is eating a lot better now so any homemade goodies are appreciated. If you are not sure, give him a call. He will be getting a second round of chemo soon so you better enjoy this lull while it lasts. Call or come by and say hi. Thanks to all. Joe's Mom
