Good morning everyone!

Jenn saw Dr Briggs this morning and she had some good news for Jenn.  The shot that she received yesterday to help stimulate her bone marrow must be working, because Jenn's white blood cell count went up from .9 to 1.3 since yesterday and her Hemoglobin counts came up on their own as well!

Dr Briggs told Jenn that if this keeps up that Jenn should expect to be released early this upcoming week.  What a relief that would be for Jenn and something I have been looking forward to for a couple of weeks now.  We forgot to tell everyone that our good buddy Norm whom I met the first day when Jenn was admitted to the hospital here; was released on Thursday and he left us a nice note so that we can keep in touch.  He was very cool and inspirational for Jenn as he would walk 3 miles each day on this 4th floor... military style and at a rigorous pace.  I am very happy for Norm and wish him the best moving forward.

We are going for a walk now to get a coffee at Caribou downstairs; one of our favorite things to do here.  I have gotten to know all of the barista's and they definitely hook us up with the coffees, etc.

Things just continue to look up for Jenn and us, so we just relish in the fact that we are so blessed.

Lots of Love from Room 4912!!
