Day 12 Numbers


I have never paid a lot of notice to how much we use numbers in our lives. This trip to Texas has opened my eyes.
Before we left home,we needed dates and times to leave--all numbers. We had our flight number and gate number,our arrival time.
Once in Texas,we had to learn our building number ,our apartment number,our new phone number,our address and new zip code number. Then,I had to remember Stan;s floor number and room number and his phone number.
Since his transplant,we are watching all his blood count numbers,and his input and output numbers, his medicine dosage numbers and now with the drug-induced diabetes--his glucose numbers.
Stan's white blood counts is now in the normal range nad his red blood cells and platelets are increasing everyday.We are possibly looking at a discharge day of Wednesday----if "all the numbers look good".

Stan: You look great. I was glad to see you standing again. Why your not even ugly anymore! That lasix must have really worked. I asked for prayers for you yesterday at church. If you do get to the apt. this week make sure you rest and don't overdue it. You still have a ways to go.
Love and Blessings to you both,
Donna W.
