Home again 2.0

The present plan is to send Dad home this afternoon. He received a bag of platelets yesterday, and they're going to double-bag him today and hope that holds through the weekend. Whether or not his platelet production is going to recover is uncertain, but the doctors feel they can adequately monitor Dad's situation at home and bring him in for necessary transfusions as an outpatient.

Dad has been feeling pretty good, for the past couple of days going on walks around the ward, trying to get his strength back. Besides this platelet business, please pray that Dad and Mom will be able to enjoy their time at home, and be rejuvenated before they have to come back again in a couple of weeks for the next round of chemo.
