I'm Back...At Least For a While

I was dismissed from the hospital Monday evening, and is it nice to get home. The staph infection in my central line is gone.....now it is a matter of trying to get my white cell count up so I can resist infections. Thank God the staph was not one of the new killer drug resistant strains. The infectious disease specialists told me that I was much better off recuperating at home rather than being exposed to all the bugs in the hospital. For now, antiobiotics, neupogen shots, procrit shots, and steroid treatments for several days.

The good news is that I can go to the wedding....I'll take standard precautions such as masking in planes and airports.

To the Class of '60, my heartfelt thanks to all of you for your prayers and support...It means so very much. Thanks for the comments about Beecher's Island....they brought back a lot of memories. Also thanks to all of our Kearney friends.

Dan, Great news. Just a caution, lookout for cows as you fly over Utah on your way to Las Vegas.

Take care and God Bless Ya---Ed and Vicki

Dan:

It's great to have you back. Have a good time in Las Vegas. I think we told you sometime ago that Judy's mother has been receiving, from us, all of the information on your blog. She shares it with Barb Macht, but also Ruby Porter. As you are aware, Ruby is having a difficult time reading due to the gradual loss of sight. So Phyllis reads to Ruby, and Ruby is most grateful and happy. You have a big supporter with Ruby.

Sincerely,

Judy and Doug Whitten

Good to hear you are home and planning to go to the wedding. We plan to be there; we're leaving any germs we we may have in Oregon. Yvonne is keeping Harold and Suzie apprised of your web postings. Best wishes for continued recovery and favorable answers to prayer.

Yvonne & Glen Anderson
