The Doctors and we ourselves, are very optimistic about the treatments available. We know that we have a long road ahead of us and we hope that you will support us on our journey to recovery.

A Good Update

During the middle of everything going on with Rassie's accident I forgot to update on the good.  According to the ER doctor on Sunday, Rassie's white count was 56,000.  Thats down about 300,000 from where it started and that is AWESOME in my opinion. It is a big relief to see such progress.

On another note, Rassie is being transferred home to S&W hospital as we speak.  We are both extremely happy about that. At first JPS was releasing him completely and said he could come home! But the had not even done a PT workup and Rassie cannot get out of bed by himself or walk so that was not a good idea.  He still has numbness in his right leg and extreme pain in his back but he is feeling better.

Once he gets to S&W we will be able to reschedule his oncolgy appointment and see what we can do about getting him a new script since his was left at work when he got injured and no one can seem to find it. I am so excited to see him in the morning!
