Well, the past few days have been really bad for my dad... he has been dizzy and very out of it. He hasn't felt like doing anything.... and when I have spoken with him he has was slurring his words and not making a whole lot of sense. Yesterday the nurse walked with him and he said that he felt a lot better. And, his white blood cell count went up to .10 which is great!
Well, today is a much better day for him. I have spoken to him several times and each time he sounds better and better. The doctors have ordered a bone marrow aspiration this week IF his white count does not come up anymore. In previous posts I gave wrong information. A normal white blood cell count is between 4.0 and 7.0 . And today his went up yet again to .2!!! YEAH!!! I truly feel like the reason that he felt so crappy the past few days was because his new bone marrow was grafting with the old and his body was just working overtime to accomplish just that! I hope that I am right anyways. He told me today that when he gets to 2.0 he may get out of the hospital. Each patient is completely different as our bodies are such awesome machines we all react differently to different things. His is just taking a little bit longer but it will be worth the wait for sure! He is remaining positive and has made the comment to me the past two days that he is ready for whatever comes... if God wants him to stay here he is ready and if God wants him to come home he is ready. This of course was unsettling to me since I am selfish and want him to stay right here. But, I do find peace in the fact that he has found peace.
I love my dad very much and will continue to pray vigilantly each day.
Thank-you to all of you for your thoughts and prayers.
God bless all of you!
