Just chillin'

Hi everyone,

A quick post to let you know that all's well. Bob says hi, and that he's slowly getting his strength back. We had pizza for dinner(from Famous at Bobs' request) last night and watched the Phils. I made eggs and bacon for breakfast and Bob was literally swooning over his plate....all the little things that he didn't even know he missed. Thursday night Bob downloaded some patches for his game into the computer, and has spent an hour or 2 each day playing(that, he knew he missed).
The Penn visiting nurse was here the past 2 days to do Bobs' admission and give him his IV antibiotics. Those are finished now, as only 2 more doses were needed by the time he was finally d/c'd. She'll be back every Monday and Thursday to draw labs, check vitals, IV dressing etc. We anticipate that Bob will need platelets and probably blood transfusions on Tuesday.
Bob remains in his neutropenic "cocoon", though admittedly a roomier one than at HUP. He still must follow a neutropenic diet, which means no raw fruit or veggies, and no black pepper(apparently a huge source of germs). And of course he is not leaving the house, although he really is not strong enough for that yet anyay. And I am Clorox handiwiping every surface in sight, every chance I get.
He is watching the Phils now, and than we're going to watch an old Sherlock Holmes w/ Basil "Ratbones".

We also wanted to shout out a big hello to RLN down in Ga. Richard, I just found your blog yesterday as it wasn't on the current days' post. It was great to hear from you, as Bob says from one April fool to another. We're so sorry to hear what your grandson has been through and are keeping him in our prayers. Please give Maryanne our regards too.

So everything's status quo, which is how I like it. Please continue to keep Bob and I in your prayers.

All our love,
Bob and Mo
