Grier's counts are LOW---- he will get a blood transfusion tomorrow to "juice up" for the weekend..... and possibly platelets.... he was at 118 on Monday and today he is a whopping 39--- so if he goes much lower he may need those too tomorrow--- 

House arrest has been really fun this week--- NOT really!!! I forgot how fun it is when all of are home.... Grier did go to the baseball game last night and had a good time--- you would have never known his counts are the way they are--- he was NON-STOP for 3 hours ( I mean running.. playing etc.).... he also used almost a whole thing of hand sanitizer....  We did get a little nervous last night after the game.... he was very restless while he slept-- and around 2am I felt him and he seemed warm...his temp was 99.8 so I waited an hour and took it again.... it was the same.... this morning when he got up he was not warm but pretty quiet... and SLOW.  His temp was fine at the clinic-- whew.... He is really pale and tired today..... all symptoms of low hemoglobin.... 

He told me yesterday that he does not think the G shots work.... I asked him why and he said well.... my counts are still LOW and I can't go anywhere!  

Tomorrow will be a long day at the clinic ( 5+hours in the infusion room)-- hoping to give Greg ( the valet guy) my keys by 8:30--- so we do not have to move to a different building in the middle of transfusions.... Hopefully the shots will start working soon.... I am thrilled we have made it home this long....!
