quickly...it'll take another miracle

Well, it'll be a miracle if we make it home this week. But I haven't stopped packing.

Jim's blood TANKED... He's neutropenic again. Really low. His neutrophil was .600. Normal is 2000. to 8000. So, I'm back to giving him shots daily. And his platelets have tanked, too. His are 28,000. Normal is 164,000 to 360,000. YIKES... Because of that, his nose won't stop bleeding, and the site of his bone marrow biopsy opened tonight, too, because of him pulling the darn tape. It's not running bad, so maybe that one will stop. His creatinine (kidney) numbers are up too.

You know why all of this is happening? Well, neither do they. But I'm packing.
