Tuesday the 29th

Doug is home and "chester" is doing pretty well on the walker and lovin' his happy pills. It took till Monday afternoon to get him home but we finally made it. His red cell count was low so that meant two units of blood which then led to an elevated temp. and that led to another night in the hospital. So...we've cleared that hurtle. This afternoon is PT. Should be interesting to say the least. He's settled on the top level which gives him his bed, bathroom, computer and the tv. What more could he want? Oh, yes...his downstairs nest. He's reading the paper, drinking coffee and eating p.tarts right now. Nothing new. Same old, same old. I think I'll be hanging around home for today at least and we'll see about tomorrow. He's pretty compliant with everything at this point.

And....Kimmy and JB found out yesterday that another Russell boy is on the way arriving March 7 or so. Woo, Wooo for another boy. The count is 5 grandsons.

When "Chester" is using the walker make sure he does not "pop a wheely" or spin the rear tires when taking off from a dead stop. Also is he faster on four wheels than on two legs? Notice the sympathy from TX!!

I printed out the e-mail you sent about Chester and PT -- I posted it on our bulletin board so extra prayer energy can come your way. A little more sympathy here in GA.
