In Florida!

Mom's count stayed up again this week at 9.6, woohoo!  So Mom and Dad left for Florida yesterday and will be there for a little over a week.  They were so excited to go and I know they'll have a great time!

Good blood count

Mom's blood count maintained this week at 9.5...good stuff!

Set to go on vacation!

My mom and dad went up for mom's appointment today to have a checkup with the doctor.  They've planned a vacation to Florida for about 10 days at the end of this month and my mom has been a little nervous about her levels and not being able to go.  Today the doctor said everything was looking great.  Mom's blood count was at 9.6 (up .5 from Monday) and the doctor was happy with all of the other counts as well.  Mom will continue her weekly appointments at Ottawa hospital for blood work, but doesn't have to go back up to Northwestern until June 2nd!  They'll continue to watch the results but it looks like they'll be able to head off to Florida as scheduled!  What great news!  Both of my parents deserve a vacation since my dad's been working all over the state for the past few months and they haven't been able to relax together for a while.  Praise God for this gift :)
