We got yesterday's labs. So, the platelets and the HGB are STILL dropping. Hans' plts were only 7:( and his HGB fell to 9.2, but the ANC is very strong around 4K! We are still using the wait and see approach for transfusions.

Hans is doing really quite well! He's happy. He actually got to make his first visit to the classroom yesterday:) He went to computer lab and then for a classroom visit yesterday morning. Our "plan" is for him to go back for computer lab on Thursday mornings when he can to get to know his class. It was very sweet. The class was full of questions, and Hans was full of answers. He got up in front of the class and fielded any questions ...when did you get cancer, what kind of cancer do you have, what do you eat at the hospital, what are your favorite shows, what happened to your hair?? Hans popped off his cap and showed off his scars and kept up with their questions. Sweet kids!

We are having some gorgeous sunshiny weather here! Hans and I have a lot of flower pots to plant, and a table to stain! He is a very good helper. Elle and Kevin have three and four day weekends, so we are all ready for some more good, family home time. We've been able to take Honey out on walks, bike rides, hitting our park and kicking the soccer ball around a bit. No complaints here! MIBG has certainly given us our best month in Bakersfield thus far.

I must give a huge shout out to Charon Edgington and all the bakers and supporters of the TCH Bake Sale. They raised $1,815 today. That brings our running total to $28,590. Not bad huh? I'm tickled that the bake sale legacy continues. It's amazing - in just a dozen or so sales since we started it up on Valentines Day of 2008 we're closing in on the 30K mark. I love the bake sale as a fundraiser because it doesn't really require much effort, no overhead and has proven to be sustainable. Thanks to all the NB mamas and my old friends and neighbors who continue to support it! I feel like I should be baking!
