Good morning,

Everything with Mark is going as planned. His white count is .000 so I am diligently trying to keep him safe. As he says, “there is only one way to go now - UP”. His daily counts have been good, he has only had to have one unit of blood and one of platelets. He lost 5 more pounds yesterday for a total of 23 in the last three day. Needless to say he is feeling like a new person. He should lose the rest of the fluid in the next few days. I still have all my extra 20 pounds just in case you were wondering.

Since Mark’s appointment time has changed to the afternoon, we have not seen Tom. But the nurses keep us updated and he is reportedly on the upswing also. Debbie is coming this weekend. Hope she beats the “storm” . I have to go get bread and milk - yes, they do that here as well. The weather people call it the "Bread and Milk forcast". Never have figured out why we need it but it must be important. Remember Todd Yakoubian, Chattanooga weather guy, he is out here now - makes us feel like we are at home.

We are having to have a new windshield put in the truck - guess we were hit with a rock. The crack has steadily made its way across the windshield. I love that they will come to your car instead of having to go wait at a shop. Very nice for us!!
Just went out to check on the windshield - oh well, this one is wavy - now to schedule another one...........

As my friend says, "You never know what you are going to have to deal with on any given day". As long as the Good Lord is with us - we can carry on.
Love you all
