Counts Done - And Low

Adele & I walked to the Weinberg Building this morning - all of 1 1/2 blocks. In IPOP at 7:25 AM and had all the diagnostics done. The nurse also changed her gauze dressing and !! found so little blood - we might go to the weekly dressing in a day or so. She also provided some supplies that the home service did not provide or gave us the wrong version of. Semipore dressings and chloraprep cleansing wands.

Adele's white cells and platelet counts are both very low. Need some prayer that they start rising today or a transfusion will be needed. That allows yet another possibility of infection to enter her body and we do not want to have any infections. She is wearing her mask most of the time we are out of the apartment. She will need to walk more and get some exercise. Wow - her not me! wonder of wonders...

The apartment is a bit of heaven for us. We will spend the day reading, walking and some TV watching. Tonight is some soup for supper, I think Elaine made it for us, while last night was chuck roast served over potato rolls. Tomorrow we have chili, made for Julie & Eric, although we never used even 1/2 when they were visiting.

Thanks to all for the prayers - Rick

This is walking back to the apartment - just ahead on the left - directly across Orleans St.
