Tuesday: Platelets-17 : Deb-Priceless!

I took Deb to the local hospital for her six hour infusion this morning. She could hardly walk unassisted. Her platelets measured at 17; so drops of about ten points per day seem to be average. Fortunately, last night was the last of the really bad chemo for a few weeks so recovery may be in the wings.

 Deb will have to have another transfusion tomorrow and then back on Friday.

Speaking of wings, our son Trey passed his private pilot check ride in Brussels, Belgium yesterday! Congrats Trey!  That makes three generations of pilots in our family. All named Vernon!
