White blood cell count

We met with Dr. Butler today for the weekly check up, they had done blood work last week to check the white blood cell count. White cells fight infection, he didn't give us the number, but told us they were good. David is doing fine, played a round of golf this week and last. He is starting to feel some fatigue, it is to be expected, and so far the only problem he is having. Today was the 10th treatment, and since we are shooting for a total of 32 that means he is about 1/3 of the way through.
Sarah came down last week and went with her dad to the Friday session. The nurses took her in the room and explained the machine and treatments to her. Jennifer and the kids are coming down this weekend, they are going to spend spring break here and at her parents. Billy just called, they are coming down Sunday for a couple of days. The cards and phone calls are great moral boosters, and the prayers are a wonderful comfort to us both. It only takes looking around the waiting room to know how blessed we are.
