Ron continues to feel well & has energy. He tried to add a few extra hours at work this week and felt drained later after he got home. We talked about it and I convienced him he may be pre-mature about increasing his hours. He agreed to continue only on half days and to concentrate on continuing to "Rest" so his body can continue to heal...

Here are the lab results from today...

HGB 12.9, Hemacrit 39.0%, RBC 3.73, WBC 3.0, Neutrophils 45%, PLT 209.

All numbers are up more, except PLT, but, they have fluctuated over past several weeks, but, remained within normal band. I'm especially impressed with Ron's HGB increasing from 10.4 last week to 12.9 !!!! WBCs are on the rise too...

We continue to thank everyone for Prayers and Praise God for his response to Vidaza! We go back in 1 week (5/27/09), then, Ron begins his 3rd Cycle of Vidaza on 5/27/09.

PS. Ron initially had fevers and night sweats when first dx (Feb09). The fevers stopped after his last transfusion, just over 3 wks ago, and now the night sweats have stopped as well :-)

Thank you for your continued Prayers...
Cindy
