A Day of Transfusions

Shayne was able to get Christi to eat a little yogurt he brought over to the hospital from Au Bon Pain today. The dreadful mouth sores are quite nasty now. She has VERY LOW blood counts (ANC of 60, white count of .3 - yikes!) and her hgb. and platelets were so low that she needed both blood and platelet transfusions. That always makes for a terribly long day at CHOP. Thank you, blood donors!!

Last night the three watched "Ice Age" to prepare for today's opening of "Ice Age II" which Christi has been anxious to see with Daddy. It's playing a couple blocks from Ronald so that is what they are doing tonight as I type. We expect her to be inpatient on Monday if not before so they figured they'd best go tonight while they still could.

Thanks to the wonderful Kerschner's for dropping off some of Sharon's great home cooked food in Philly today! Shayla and I met up with the Grine's tonight at the "Rock Creek Cafe" at Heidelberg. I had a lovely time catching up with Lori while Shayla had a ball playing with Kelsey and Tiffany.
