DOT +37

Dad again. I arrived yesterday for the weekend. Fortunately, Patrick's White Blood Count had positive movement up to 1.4 yesterday. It remained steady at 1.4 today too. We can't seem to experience an upward trend without having a slight retreat lately but are hopeful things will keep going up from now on. We of course are very interested in the results from the RFLP (Whose is whose?) test which should be back Tuesday or Wednesday and indicate host vs donor cell presence.

Fortunately, antibiotics were Patrick's only need at clinic today and we were in and out in 2 and a half hours. We had some welcome visitors today after clinic. Cousins Grayson & Detgen came by and so did Pat. Pat brought a tailgating lunch with fried chicken and deviled eggs which we enjoyed while watching afternoon football.

Looks like a night of sports on TV. Patrick hopes the Ole Miss throw Lynn sent him brings good luck against LSU tonight. All of the phone calls, cards, prayers, visits, gifts, and other support is very much appreciated and truly helps us all work through this journey. I can't thank everyone enough.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
