We went to the hospital today for another blood draw. Joe's WBC dipped again. Still, his counts are better than when he was first diagnosed, he still feels well, and they are hovering in an acceptable range. Joe called the doctor's office and was told he wouldn't need a Neupogen injection. So that is how I define acceptable range. :)
We were able to see several of the residents and have lunch with them. That was nice. We got to see Lilly too, which is always wonderful.
After arriving home, we received two packages! One from My cousins Sandy and Osamu. It was beautiful and filled with fun "spa" stuff. Very luxurious. Thank you!!!!! We were supposed to see Sandy and Osamu for Christmas. Unfortunately, due to Joe's low counts they decided to postpone the trip until Spring. We missed seeing them, but look forward to seeing them in a few months!
The other was from my cousin Cathleen and 3rd Auntie (Sandy's mom and sister!). They made us the cutest things, as you can see from the picture (although they are even lovelier in person). And the best part is that they said that each bead symbolizes love and a blessing for us. How sweet! Thank you!
Another Happy Birthday to Lora and ChristinaMarie!

What a lovely blog. Karen looked prettier then ever and Joe looked so happy. May God's blessing be with you as always. After looking at Joe's picture, his cousin Zim had to admit he is not adopted because there are inignorable similiar features in their faces. Thank you Joe and Karen for solving the mystery.
