We truly have a lot to be thankful for this year. And, this roller coaster ride we can't seem to get off of seems to be on a little bit of an upswing.
Greg's lab work yesterday showed some true improvement. This is still a one-day-at-a-time process, and anything can happen, but it was sure welcome news.
All of his levels were up, including his platetles, which were at 53 (they haven't been in the 50s since August 1!). His hemoglobin (reds) were almost normal (9.9), and his whites were at 4.2 (normal is 5). He was as low as 2.2 on the 18th. So, for right now, everything looks OK, and we are going to enjoy the moment.
We have decided every day is now a holiday. We have to live each day for itself, and enjoy what we have.
This Thanksgiving we truly do give thanks for all our wonderful family and friends whose love and support mean so much to us. Whenever we seem of the verge of a breakdown, and think we can't stand this any longer someone of you senses it and jumps in to pick us up & brush us off. We really couldn't be getting through this without all of you and love you all so much.
We hope you and yours have a safe, happy and overstuffed Thanksgiving. We give thanks for each and every one of you every day.
Have a great holiday!
Love,
Greg, Ann, Eric & Matthew

YIPEE Skippee! Bout time Greg started something positive!!! Maybe Santa will bring him more than coal this year.
How did Shelly beat me to this and did you notice how she has posted a picture of the Sasquatch paw she found in her yard?
Talk to you later....
Me and Them
That ain't no Sasquatch - That's Alabama Jack righ-chere!
(oh, and, I got off work at noon)
We certainly love those great numbers! Greg, do you think there is a positive correlation between the Dow Jones Index number and your numbers? With your expertise in statistics, I am sure you can establish that link! If so, you may be able to publish a paper and join Obama’s economic and health care reform teams! Well, until all these things happen, hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

It's really hard for me to understand why God would let bad things happen to good people but it happens every day.....all over the world.
All I have to say on this subject is:
Take a look around you. The world is a wonderful beautiful place. There is no possible way that Life could be an accident. It's a gift from God and it should be cherished.......
