Numbers, numbers!

Here's Ricky on Father's day with his uncle Greg and going to work on some old telephone poles for the tags.

Quick update: Ricky has been feeling pretty lethargic the last several days, it turns out he is anemic. His blood test yesterday was good otherwise: ANC over 2000, platelets were 1.90 but the red blood cell count was way down. Exam was stable, but we have noticed more TIAs and of greater duration and strength over the last couple of weeks. No headaches or nausea so we’re happy about that.

He got his monthly antibiotic, Avastin and two bags of red blood cells. His mother says he has more energy this morning so maybe that was the cure. He’s off the Albany NY to his grandparents and relatives for the weekend.

Thanks once more for all the kind thoughts and prayers, as one of the doctors told me, he’s writing his own story!
