Becoming stronger

It's Tuesday noon and time for another update. Monday afternoon, Cheryl began eating ice chips and continued through the night. This morning she had a whole strawberry shake and 1/2 a yogurt. Her blood counts this morning are: hemoglobin is at 9.8 today vs. 8.7 Monday (normal is 12 to 16), her platelets are at 23 today vs. 26 Monday (normal is 140 to 440), her white count is 1.4 today vs. 0.6 Monday (normal is 4.0 to 11). The nurse practitioner has been in this morning and has given us hope Cheryl may be able to leave the hospital tomorrow.

    Way to go Sis! Get stronger so you can return to the apartment and start eating asparagus.
