Day 40

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a great day today. Charlie is still feeling the same and is now neutropenic. His white blood count has dropped to be very low. At this time everyone that comes in contact with him needs to be very careful. Washing hands and wearing a mask is a must. He is now starting to get his Neuprogen shots again to help raise his white blood counts. Charlie is thinking he may go home sooner than two weeks, but we will see. Right now we are waiting on the bone marrow results and praying they come back as a match. On Friday Charlie will have another spinal tap and may have to have more blood transfusions during the week. He is hanging in there and is ready for some good news to come his way. Right now Charlie is reading Lance Armstrongs book about his journey with testicular cancer. He has been reading a lot when he has trouble sleeping at night. He feels encouraged by the book and can really relate to it. Thank you all for your encouragement and help through this challenging time. I hope to report good news this week. We love you all! Until tomorrow, good night
