This morning we found out that Dad's white blood cell count is still slowly, but steadily increasing! It has gone up by .01.
Dad still has his mouth sores, although they are looking better. He is on just enough morphine now to keep him happy, but not too silly. He is still not up to eating, though. He says his throat is too sore to swallow. Hopefully his mouth and throat will feel good enough to eat soon. It's a good thing Amanda fattened him up before all this!
The most exciting thing that happened today was a visit from Mom. I was not here as I ventured out to retrieve some new undies for Dad, and had to go to four different stores to find some. But Dad said they walked and talked about the horses. I saw Mom as she was leaving and she said that most of the work on the house is done and now it just needs a thorough deep cleaning.
Dad and I are watching All the Kings Men now. That is about all for today!
Peaceful and pleasant- that sounds great! Yay for the white blood cells coming up steadily! Every day they will get stronger and more plentiful. Amanda must be a good cook. If I know anyone who needs fattening up, I'll contact Amanda! Oh, nice that Debby visited today and gave Rod an update on the horses and farm. I bet that cheered him up a lot to hear the news.
ReplyDeleteWe watched "Trading Places" last night. It's an older movie (from the 1980s) but very funny and entertaining. If you haven't seen it, check it out. Rod has likely seen it, but might enjoy it again.
Keep up the great work! We will see you SOON!
Sounds like it was a good day and Rod is getting better bit by bit. I like the stats.
ReplyDeleteI remember "Trading Places" being funny as well.
Have a good night. Less than a week and we will be there with you.
