Day +06 (morning)

Bruce's platelet levels have dropped below a count of 10 now so he is really tired and lethargic. The Dr has decided to give him a transfusion of platelets to help him along (which they had said would very likely happen). She has also decided to feed him through a tube for a bit to help him gain some weight and they are re dressing the PICC line so all normal maintenance stuff for his part of the transplant evidently. Over all they are very happy with his progress.

Dr has described the fall out of the chemo like spraying the weeds and killing the grass too. It will take a while for the damage to finally show itself and the new seed that is replanted to start to look like a lawn again. Not sure I have related that correctly but it kind of makes sense.....

Please pray that the stem cells start replicating quickly :) We have heard from some of the nurses that some of the other transplant patients after Bruce are having a harder time especially the guy he que jumped. That puts where Bruce is up to into perspective and we are grateful!

Again thank you all for your love and prayers - we feel them!
