Day + 8

Hello all,

We are really loving all the responses we get via the blogs! We are so fortunate to have such great friends and co-workers.

Slow day today. As I suspected, Peter needed platelets and blood. He got 2 bags of platelets last night and 2 bags of blood today. He may need more platelets tonight. He was in and out of sleep last night and up until about 2 PM today.

I brought in some chinese food so we were able to have lunch together in the conference room - a nice change of pace. We may do this more often as he is feeling better.

All in all everyone is pleased with his progress. During rounds yesterday morning they noticed the terrible bruises on his arms from the shots he get. The site for shots was changed to his belly. The nurse yesterday must have great technique - no bruising. The one today was not so good - large bruise.

I left early today because my friend Nella was coming for dinner and to sleepover. We had a great (no calorie) dinner at Red Robin and then came back to the hotel room. 7 of my "Tuesday morning stitchers that meets on Thursday night" drove up here for stitchers. It was so nice to see all of them. I am so lucky to have such great stitchin buddies.

Thanks to all we send cards and emails and come to visit. It means alot to both of us. FYI: I am unable to respond to questions sent in the comments section because I do not get the email addresses of those who send comments. I will try to remember to answer questions on the blog itself.
