Niccole and Cole have arrived for Christmas! The plans are in motion, and Andy, Lisa, and Abby come tomorrow. Niccole takes over a majority of kitchen duties, so how great is that?! I love it. It will be 2012 before we know it, and it promises to be a better year for us.

Ron did have his weekly check up today and will return Friday for another blood test to monitor platelets in case he needs a transfusion. They are also watching his ANC number as it has dropped, and it guages how effective his immunity is. At this time they have scheduled 2 appointments next week and have slightly tapered his steroids again...moving in the right direction! The really good news is that he had his first negative CMV virus test, so they changed his antiviral medication to one that is not so hard on blood cells. His blood counts should begin an upward trend again in the direction of the normal range. Indeed, Merry Christmas!
Ron & Jan
