Jelly Doughnuts . . .

Okay--more on that later. First, Joy is continuing her course of chemotherapy. Her white blood cell count is still zero (good). And her platelets are back up in number (very good). In fact, the platelets are up so much, she gets to stop her continuous platelet feed and is only receiving two transfusions a day.

She didn't sleep much last night BUT feels better this afternoon. This could possibly be due to the delectable apricot jam-filled doughnut that she ate. Yum!

In addition to the doughnuts, she also REALLY appreciates all of the love she's felt from everyone!

Hej Joy,

Remember when we had that Borlange upper respiratory infection way back when? I'm trying to locate an episode of "Lilla huset pa prarien" pa svenska, so you'll have something comforting in the background :-) I'm thrilled to see that you continue to improve. I hope it's a steady track forward and that your kids can visit often bringing with them huge doses of kid joy to keep your spirits up.

Tack for att du finnes,

Steph
