We all had a very nice Thanksgiving at home. Due to lots of sniffles in the extended family, we opted to cook our own turkey at home to keep the germs away from Patrick’s weakened immune system as even a slight cold could mean serious business!
Patrick returned to the clinic Monday for lab work and got fantastic results! His white count was 4.6, hemoglobin 9.7 and platelets 103. We are thrilled to see the numbers increasing steadily along with his energy level.
We are still waiting for results on the “whose is whose” test. Due to a hiccup in Duke’s new computer system, the test was not run a couple of weeks ago but was run this week. Results should be back early next week and we anticipate them to be positive.
Patrick is still enjoying being at home although he really misses college life. He will take an online course in January and attend summer school to catch up on his hours.
We head back to the clinic to see Dr. Chao on December 16th! Stay tuned for results on “whose is whose” test. xoxo caroline
The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.
-Isaiah 58:11
