Day 16 counts and pictures O' the day





Today's pictures are taken at our new "daily assignment" ,the ATC. The first is a view of the park below Stan's treatment room,the 2nd is a picture of one of the treatment rooms. The third picture was taken from Stan's treatment room and is a view of the skybridge going to the Mays Clinic (on the right) and the Rotary House Hotel (that is attached to the hospital).Lastly, is a view from the same window looking in the other direction--every building you see is part of the Texas Medical Center (part is MD Anderson, part is Children's Hospital, part Methodist Hospital, part St. Luke's Hospital,and several others)
As far as Stan's counts --his platelets and white blood cells are in the NORMAL range,red blood cells are up a little from yesterday (the doctors told us today that the red blood cells may not get back to normal range for months,so not to worry. Potassium was a little low today--but all he needs is a pill for today to counteract that.
So, we were told that we are "nice and boring" and at this point ,that is the best we can be!!! yipee!

I've always said that about you Stan, "...my brother in law...nice man...boring...but nice."
Here's to more boring. Hey, I'm off to the Jersey shore for a few with the fam and I'll have to see about WIFI, but I'll take the phone number with me and see if I can catch you guys in, maybe mid week.
Love from Wallingford..

It must be nice to have a different view. 6 hours at the hospital is better than 24. Keep up the good work. Mary B.
