Greetings to my growing fan club!

I never knew I knew so many people! I love to read all these comments that keep growing on my blog. I never thought I was a "blog type guy" but this is actually kind of fun. Now on to the health update; I got a call from Lancaster General Hospital today, (Tuesday), letting me know that my white blood cells are pretty low, almost to the point of being non-existent. So this means that I need to be very careful about going out in public so I don't catch anything that will put me in peril. Other than that all else seems to be going well. No major side effects except for my mouth tasting like metal and surprise fatigue. That is one of the hardest things for me to deal with. I will be in the middle of doing something and all of a sudden I will just fall asleep! Well I better wrap this up so i don't
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Ricahrd,
This blog is great!
Sorry to hear about your white blood cells - Tell them to "get on the ball" and perk up! I am always
praying - I will just pray for more
white cells! In the meantime, you sleep and give them a chance to get
growing! We will all do the "praying work".
Love your humor,
Aunt Paula

I thought I would leave a note this way instead of adding a new post. I want Richard's messages to be seen first. Thanks to everyone who's leaving him messages...he REALLY enjoys reading them! He's never been one to email much, but this is fun for him. He can leave quick messages and has no trouble using words to show that he still has his sense of humor! :) Even though his white blood counts are low, he's been feeling more awake these days. Thanks again for all of your prayers and support! WE LOVE RICHARD!
