TUESDAY and WEDNESDAY

I went home for about 32 hours to do some gardening and trim the jungle in our front yard. Ralph wanted me to take pictures of the healing garden and putting green. It must inspire him to get well soon.

Ralph’s white blood count jumped from 900 to 2700 to 3600. Normal counts are between 5,000-12,000. He is eating better and walking faster. The other counts rise slower. He received two more units of blood to increase those. All vital signs are good.

On Tuesday, Mallory spent the afternoon, and Megan delivered a “Party-in-a-Box” that Ralph’s friend and appraisal typist, Cathy, got together for his birthday. She collected cards, well wishes, and a few presents from all the friends at credit unions, banks, and businesses that Ralph either works for or is associated. He’s already read the book, “Extreme Golf”, that was in the box.

On Wednesday, Mallory visited, and Michael spent the late afternoon with Ralph. Megan came after dinner.
