Friday +63 (9:30 PM)

Tiffany and Brittany arrived last night at about 2:15 AM. Jackie slept through their move-in next door. This morning as we were preparing to leave for the morning hospital appointment they walked in and surprised her. There were lots of hugs and a few tears. Unfortunately the cameraman-in-residence failed to record the reunion. Later in the day there was a reenactment of the morning reunion but the acting was so bad that a vote was taken and the decision made to let no one see the performance:)

Jackie was completely surprised and had no idea they were coming. Naturally she was thrilled to see them.

We spent our normal 2 hours or so at the hospital with the girls. Later in the day we had lunch at The Olive Garden and drove around the local Rochester area. This evening we watched a little TV and visited with the girls.

Jackie had a good day. She was a little more tired than usual and required a nap after our return from the hospital. Her blood counts were mixed today. her RBC (Hgl) remained the same as yesterday at 9.9. Her WBC count declined to 2.1 from 2.7 yesterday. Her platelets were basically unchanged at 121 from yesterday's 125.

Tomorrow our plan it to drive around the river and lakes area if the weather is nice. Hopefully the cameraman can get a few good photos and some video.

Until Later,


Bruce and Jackie
