HAPPY Valentine's Day!!!




Well it is Valentine's Day and we may have made the turn! WBC is 8.3 million. The range should be 4-11 million. I think this is pretty done. RBC is 3.03 on range 4.6-6.2. Platelets are 53. Still low but everything is growing on its own...
I am feeling pretty good now. The main instruction I got was drink two glasses of orange juice because my calcium is low.
Big blizzard up here! Cheryl bought us both boots today. This somehow got Cheryl and I talking about the definition of bargain. She said it meant to get a lot of stuff for a little money. I said, I can't wait to hit the bar a gain. We both have our perspectives.
BIG NEWS!!!!!
The doctors shocked me by saying they could make the decision as early as THIS FRIDAY TO SEND ME HOME TO CHARLOTTE. YEA!!!!
Will let you know on Friday. Going sled ridding now...

Jackmon, It's finally me! I'm a blogging idiot too. Hey all you OGHS grads of 1977, the class reunion (30) is coming up in July. 20, 21, 22 to be exact. Email me at camihill@comcast.net for info. Jack and Cheryl, You guys already know this but to repeat, I praise God for the blessings of having you guys in my life (Jack for ~43 years- WOW) and for the health he is going to restore to you. Cami and I refuse to go to Jamaica without you 2 so we're wintering in East Liverpool, Oh. this Feb. I know God has big plans for you and I can't wait. It's so much easier to talk on the phone and this takes so much time because I'm a technoweenie, BUT, you're worth it. I'll be blogging you every couple of days, it would be more frequent but I'm not as young as I used to be. We got your back covered in prayer 24/7. God's mercies are everlasting and His goodness knows no end. " I know the plans I have for you, plans of good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Jerimiah 29:11. Later Gator, We love you guys bunches and bunches, Tedmon and Cami

Happy Valentine's Day, Sweeties!

Glad to hear everything is turning in the right direction at last! I knew it was just a matter of time.
I've found that oj tastes better with a little champagne in it, served in a fancy glass!I think they call them Mimosas.
My idea of a bargain is about the same as Cheryl's although Ken seems to think "It's not a bargain if you didn't really need it anyway!"
He also likes your definition much better than mine.
Have lots of fun sledding and make sure you wear your new boots! Maybe you can find yourselves a nice big car hood to sled on and some tires you can burn to keep warm! And watch for the cars at the bottom of the hills!

Love, Jeanie

Jack and Cheryl -

HAPPY VD DAY!!!

Jack great job getting those counts to rise! Cheryl, you know me, I love a good bargain!

Corporate Apartment near hospital - way too many bucks.

Monthly meds - a gazillion dollars

Friends praying for your recovery - priceless

Many Blessings, Rosey

Hey Jack and Cheryl. Glad to read about the progress!! Also haven't posted lately to say congrats!! For what it's worth, Kath and I have the same definition issue with what a bargain is - Jack, I'm with you.
No big news from my perspective at he flying W (other than you guys). We did move proj steering to 7 days a week and cancelled Amprsise due to total annoyance.
Hey, my kids are bummed at the lack of snow down here, think you could back some up when you head back down?
Looking forward to reading about more progress and having you back!
Take care,
Steve

Hey Mon: It was good to talk LIVE to you the other night. From your slurring words, I'm sure you got a good night sleep! Great news about heading home, soon. We are keeping you in our prayers. Keep blogging so we can keep track of you. Oh yea, you better sled in Boston, not sure Charlotte has enough! Love ya mon, Zuke

Jack and Cheryl
WHAT WONDERFUL NEWS!!! So glad you are starting to feel better and things are going in the right direction. We're still praying.

Hope you're on your way home this weekend. I know you can't wait and it sounds like alot of people are anxiously awaiting your return.

We miss the snow but not the zero degree weather we hear they are having in Chester. We seldom see snow here. Just nasty cold and windy rain.

Mark and I agree with both definitions of a bargain.

Keep up the good work Jack
Kathy

PS. Ted we have been looking for you on here. Good to see ya. Can you have Cami e-mail us class reunion information? katz2568@verizon.net

Greetings!

We have been thinking of you down here in the "Development world" (Sometimes "down" is too appropriate lately). Haven't found the blog until today and am very happy to see that things are going well. Take care and hope to see you back in Charlotte very soon.

Cheers! Rich
p.s. Word is that you also "got hitched". Congratulations! (Now maybe you and Cheryl can carpool together... (always wondered why you came and left at the same time).

Jack & Cheryl, I check your blog every day and I'm always so glad when you have good progress reports. Keep up the good work and you'll be home before you know it. Miss you both, Stuart
