Oh Chirley, I hope you're doing better this week that when you posted, wish you could have this done someplace closer to home!

We just got back from our beach trip yesterday. It was good for both of us to get away. We both needed a break.

Bruce had another copper test done yesterday, it will be 2 weeks before we get the results. And it's been almost 3 weeks since the last copper IV push. But we learned his hgb is staying steady (not normal but not awful at 9.0), and the reticulocyte numbers were up a bit. So we're hoping that his marrow is finally starting to do its thing.

I really hope this week is going better for you

Hugs, Catherine
