A Newed Day




Sorry for the lack of posts yesterday. I got a nice sunburn at Solidarity day. It really knocked me out! I am sooo proud of everyone who showed up to support Kristi. This was an important symbolic gesture. It says to Kristi and everyone else who goes through this that they are not alone. These are shots by Liz. Here are some by Mike. Chanel 2 News was there for the event. They said that the segment will most likely run toward the end of May. In all, we shaved 13 heads yesterday: Dave, Austin, Roni, Thiago, Joel, Nate, Jeremy, Mcay, Geoff, Steve, Scott, David, and Mike. Sadly, none of the ladys ponied-up a pony tail. We'll give them a pass since we did have one lady get her head shaved.

There is a rumor around the 4th floor that Kristi may get to go home as soon as Monday! Her white blood cell count went up by a factor of 3.3 since yesterday. Her platelet count has stabilized (didn't go down for once), and there is a slight improvement in her Hematocrit. The plan now is to ween her off the anti-biotics and get her ready for life on the outside.

You guys all look purty darn good with your heads shaved... but Kristi still looks better. :-)
