Great News

My white counts are at 5.2. My dad came up around noon today. I slept a little past nine this morning and then a little bit in the afternoon. After my walk today, I got a nose bleed and had to stop the bleeding and they gave me more platelets. But, even more interesting early this morning, well late for most of you, I found out that the doctors are planning on sending me home on Monday! As I have said, “I am ready to be out of the hospital.” Right now I realize my prayer concerns are to remain healthy while in the hospital and to maintain a great quality of health when I leave the hospital. I will need to be especially careful for the first three months after leaving the hospital. The doctors want to wean me off of nutritional IV, which means I need to continue to learn to eat normal food. Right now each day is getting a little bit better. Remember me in prayer as I prepare to go back home.

Love,
Nathan
