Rehab Evaluation

Rassie had his evaluation for outpatient rehab today. Scott & White approved him for three times a week. He will be doing all of his physical therapy in the pool. There will be the occassional out of pool evaluations to see the progress he is making. All we are waiting on now is approval through the workers comp insurance.

Rassie's WBC* last week was down to 18.7 k which is an improvement from the first week of 6leevec's 28k. He was not scheduled for labs this week so we will find out next Wednesday if his WBC* has continued dropping.
Three weeks on the Gleevec and everything still seems to be going good. Rassie gets some soreness and bodyaches in the morning every so often but we're not sure if thats from the back or the meds. He had a little nausea too but we all ended up with a stomach bug so not sure if that was the bug or the Gleevec either. Thats about it for now.

Good Night & God Bless
