Counts Need to Come Up

Hello Friends and Family,

Storm concerns remain in the minor category. We are still w/o electricity, but our generator allows us to keep the fridge and other essentials powered up. Prayerfully, the electricity will come on line real soon.

Labs today revealed that the counts remain further suppressed than we would like to see. Trudy has suspended the oral chemo until her platelets recover fully, which Dr. Koller has said could take a couple of weeks. In the meantime we continue with basic activities and support the low White cells with an uncomfortable injection of Neupogen.

Thanks for checking-in! Please pray that the counts will get themselves on up there, the electricity will come on-line, Trudy's health will get even stronger, and that the Leukemia will stay away.

Blessings,
Trudy and Robert
