Saturday--Day 4--still good!


This picture is for Nobe--she loves Target--down here she could one-stop shopping--food,housewares and (of course) bathing suits--all in one store.
Stan is still doing quite well--his blood counts are all very low (which is to be expected) he is doing everything right (no pun intended)---walking, showering with the special anti-bacterial soap,rinsing his mouth frequently with special mouth-wash,using the gadget to keep his lungs working well, and eating well.The only thing the Docs are looking at right now is an irritated spot on his stomach where he received an injection of meds to increase his production of neutrophylls (sp?). Since the first shot, though , he is now getting the same injection in his arm with no side effects--so that is good. This week (on Tuesday) begins his 3rd week in the hospital.Hopefully we will see an increase in blood parts by the end of the week.
At te apartment, I have had a little excitement,yesterday (Sat) I had no water for 8 hours and when it did come back--it was brown. So, last night I boiled water and put it in any container I could find so I would have water to use. (because of the possibility of Hurricane Dean coming--it is hard to find water to buy) So, for now at least ,I am, set and today I have clear and plentiful water in the bathroom, but just trickle of water in the kitchen and no hot water in the kitchen. I'll bet this will be al better by Monday.
