Richard is so glad to be at home. He had his bloodwork done yesterday, and his counts are still going up! His white blood cells are still a bit low, but his red blood cells are higher than they ever have been since he started chemo! They're at 12.something, and normal for males is above 14. When he was on chemo., doctors were just glad to see them stay above 8. His white blood cells should continue to climb. He has been resting at home, taking care of odds and ends. He made dinner last night (with a little help from me), which was delicious! We didn't notice that the recipe said, "Serves 12" so now we have extra for tonight too! (and many nights after that...)
School is going well. I'm enjoying being back to teaching again. Days are sure busy, though!
For those of you who asked if Richard's up to visitors - he is; just call first to make sure we're going to be home! We would both love visitors!
Thanks for your continued prayers and support. Richard is resting up so he can gain strength to get back to work when the doctor approves!

Hey guys...so glad you're home and doing well "Handsome Rich!". We miss you at the hospital...no patient ever compares to you and your stories! Hope things are going well at school Daphne!
Stay healthy, come visit! :)
Hi Daphne,
So remember that time that I saw your wedding shower photo album still sitting on my dresser, 4 months after the fact, and I realized I sucked at life?
Oh wait, I don't have to remember, b/c that's right now.
I will come visit and deliver it the minute the play is over! Until then, keep raising Rich's white cell counts and enjoying classroom life :)
Love, Julia
