Day +3

Dad is doing fine this morning. Last night he had a bit of nausea, nothing much, but Sarah, our favorite nurse here, was on duty last night so we had a visit and came up with a plan for Dad to take some anti-nausea medication as a preventive for the next day or 2. It worked out well last night and is working good today. Dad met with the doctor and his blood work is fine. His white blood cell count went down by half...so he's at .3. The RBC (red blood cells) & hemoglobin stayed the same. His platelets dropped...but no transfusion necessary today. Dad walked 1/2 mile this morning...so that's really good. He's still somewhat tired, but functioning well. Lunch has been ordered and is on the way. He ate a good breakfast this morning. We both took a short morning nap. That's all to report today. This is one of those boring days...but as the doctors and nurses say here, "Boring is good!). I may try to post later today...if not, tomorow.
