Today is Dad's birthday. Yesterday he was admitted into Roberts Hospital, which is a part of Baylor University Medical Center. It is located next door to the Cancer Center. His room area is with several other cancer patients who have undergone the STC treatment. The admission was due to a variety of reasons: low blood pressure, low blood counts, and difficulty holding food and liquids.
Tim, Paula, and I are here with him today as we honor him on his 58th birthday :-) He's looking well today and is happy to have visitors!! His white blood cell count is still really low and he is receiving Neupogen injections to continue to boost those. He received platelets today also. Dad says he is feeling better and is able to hold food down which gives him some more energy. He is running a fever today so keep him in your prayers today.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAD!! Stay strong!
I am happy to hear you had a good birthday and that you are feeling better. Hope you kicked that fever and gain strength each and every day.
ReplyDeleteHarrison is a beautiful baby - what a blessing for your family! And what a blessing for him to be a part of your family too.
You are in our prayers daily. God bless you,
