Day 12 Admission Day 7 chemo

Hello dear friends and family(this includes co-workers and patients, dear to us also)

First I"ll tell you that Bob had a very, nice day. He had visits from his cousin Candy, and nephew and Godson, Sammy. Candy brought along some pizelles which Bob enjoyed with a glass of milk at 4 o'clock. My cousins John and Connie also ventured down and Bob enjoyed their company as well. My parents and I arrived at 2p, and we were all together for a time. It was a nice afternoon. Bob still has a WBC of 1.1 As expected his hgb was down to 7.7 this am and he received one unit of blood. He didn't "lap" until after he was transfused, but he was back up to 6, and Sammy kept his uncle company for the first set. After all the cuz's left I helped Bob get washed up, changed his sheets(cuz we're using sheets from home....HUPs' look like some poor soul beats them w/ rocks down at the edge of the river which I cannot spell), and he rested for a bit. Than he had his cookies and milk, ate supper an hour later, and than it was time for my parents and I to leave. A bit of a whirlwind visit, but a good one. I'll be going down tomorow w/ our friend Deb T. who may or may not be admitted for another phase of her chemo....though it sounds like probably not. But she does have an appt. to see her hem/onc and will be down for several hours, so I will hitch a ride w/ her and her hubby, Joe. Bob also wanted to thank everyone else who has visited, sent cards and gifts and called and last but not least...all the bloggers. He's really getting into the posts and looks forward to them each day.

Now, I just wanted to post some specific instructions about leaving a note, b/c several people have related that they are having trouble.

1.) Directly under my posting click on the word comment. Do not click on the little envelope...that is used to e-mail the post only.

2.)Write your message in the box under Leave your comment, making sure to sign your name.

3.)Select the anonymous button(this saves you from having to enter a username and password)

4.)Click on the login and publish option. A message should come up that your comment has been accepted and will be posted shortly. If there is not a message that says Comment published or comment saved, than your message didn't go through.

5.) Do not click onto the option that says No blogger account-sign here. That lets you set up your own blog. I know b/c I did that the first time I ever blogged on Debs' site. It wasn't until I was told to choose a template, that I realized I didn't want to be where I was.

Hope that helps. It's really not difficult. If you can e-mail, you can blog.

I'll close here. Hope everyone had a good weekend. We send our love and thanks to all. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. We appreciate all the support.

All our love,
Bob and Mo
