Heath's blood counts are very low

Heath was at the hospital all day getting transfusions. They gave him 3 units of blood and 6 units of platelets. They are also trying to give him an extra boast because he will be traveling home Friday on a commercial airline. He was feeling awful before the transfusion but Karis said he felt much better afterwards.

Karis told me this morning that Heath's Proton treatment for today has been cancelled because the machine is down. Luckily they had an extra day on their schedule before they are flying home so it shouldn't be a problem. As you can guess, Heath is very much ready to come home.
