Day 99 19FEB09



Jarrod turned our kitchen into a commercial bakery/industrial accident site this morning.You could have run a city off of his enthusiasm. He loves to bake stuff! I must admit that the house was swirling with the most delightful essence of cinnamon all morning like a fragrant fog rolling in off the ocean. The results of his labor. Delicious.

Joshua started off the day with a platelet count of 29, much lower than it was on Monday. The nurse said either the transfusion he got didn't take or that the PEG really knocked it down. So he gets another transfusion of platelets today. Another bag of cells donated by a faceless, nameless person that will keep him alive. His ANC is up to 990 which is a good improvement from Monday.

We are on our way this afternoon to River Ranch in central florida for 4 days of fun at a real dude ranch. We will be blogging as we can.
