I should have put this on yesterday's journal but I was pretty tired and didn't want to go back and put it in. Late last night they gave me a blood transfusion and the blood didn't get here til about 11pm, so I didn't sleep well cause they have to monitor my vitals much more often while they transfuse. This morning my platelettes were low so they are giving me a platelette transfusion today sometime. The platelette transfusion is easier because it only takes about 30 minutes. The red blood transfusion takes about 5 to 6 hours. My doctor said today that she thinks I'll be able to go home over the weekend so I hope she's right. // I got my platelette transfusion at about 5pm and soon afterward got an allergic reaction. My left eye got so swollen I couldn't open it, so they gave me steroids and now (10pm) it's just about normal. God bless.

Hey Ernie! Sorry that I haven't written since you started this stay but of course your beautiful daughter keeps me well informed of what you're up to! Things are good here. The snow has been on the ground for a long time so we're all starting to look forward to spring. With all of this moisture it should be a beautiful, green, season! It was great that you and Deb were able to watch Aiden destroy his cake on his birthday... We're looking forward to next year when you guys can be there in person!
Good thoughts,
dave
