the counts are rising
After a few very difficult days, it seems that Maurice is on the mend. We are not out of the woods here, but were hopeful that in the coming days Maurice will begin to feel better. His white counts will be back to normal by the weekend, his infection is gone and he will begin to strengthen
The doctors treating my father are very good and there's alot of them. Maurice is a quite popular guy in the hospital. On a daily basis he sees a doctor for his heart, his kidney, his cancer, his infections, his surgeon, his lungs, his wounds, his weak physical condition (therapist), his gastro situation,...just to name a few. (count them 9)
We need a scorecard to keep track of their names.
The good news today is that we spoke to each one of the them and they all seemed pleased with Maurice's condition. Everyone's happy and resting a little easier, including Herma.

Dear Maurice,
We were so happy to have news when we woke up this morning, and GOOD news, at that. We are so glad the counts are rising and that you are feeling better. Keep that great positive attitude and remember that we love you! Herma, too! And thank you again for this method of keeping everyone informed. It's such a good idea.
Love,
Dave and Jan, and Amy and Joe send their best. (Jack would, too, but at 21 months he's just too busy!)
It's great news that you are feeling a little better. We knew you could do it! We hope to visit real soon --as soon as you feel up to it. We have missed your positive spirit and speaking with you on the telephonw. Hopefully, you will be out of the hospital. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing you.
Love Allen and Eleanor
Dear Maurice,
It was great seeing you, Herma, Beth and Joe today. We hope each day you get stronger and better and you must believe that you will. It's very important to think positively like you usually do! We will talk to you soon and see you later this week. Lots of love,
Eleanor and Allen
I am happy that the counts are improving, but hope you are making progress with your spirits. as well. We are all hopful. Speaking of progress, let's hear from Winston Churchill again --
"Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb. "
Sir Winston Churchill
British politician (1874 - 1965)

DO NOT GIVE UP NOW . YOU ARE SO CLOSE TO THE TURNING POINT. YOU KNOW ME YOU AND I ARE FIGHTERS TO THE END. KEEP FIGHTING. IT WILL BE WORTH YOUR EFFORTS. WE LOVE YOU ..REMEMBER, YOU ARE A SHINING EXAMPLE OF COURAGE AND DETERMINATION AND THE BEST IS YET TO COME.LOVE YOU SHELLY AND RANDY
Hi Uncle Maurice,
Erin and I keep hearing that your counts are rising and your body is on the mend. We want to come visit so we need you to get stronger, eat all your vegetables, and get the hell out of the hospital so Erin can come terrorize (her nickname is Terin:) the home!!!!
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Much love, Shelly
