Still feeling lousy

Not much to update at this time. Dad is still quite sick and the doctors say he will continue to feel like this for at least the next 6 days. As tough as the days are for him he still maintains his sense of humor and likes playing tricks on the nurses.  

He has had some routine tests done and we should get the results this week sometime. His white blood count, hemoglobin and platelet counts are quite low and need to come up.  

Thank you for your understanding about not coming to visit for at least the next week. We will post when Dad is feeling up to visits again.  

Mom and Dad wish to THANK YOU for all the encouraging messages, cards and phone calls; they love getting mail at the hospital.

Hi Ed, Flo and family,

We keep thinking about you and hope Ed's blood counts will go up soon and he'll start feeling better! We hope the test results are good and all will work out well so that you can enjoy a nice Tim Horton's coffee together very soon.

Love,

To Ed & Flo and the whole family;
We're all praying for you that Ed will begin to heal and feel better soon. Glad to hear that the nurses are Ed's latest target for his pranks. Hopefully they have a sense of humpur too.

Love Louise & Doug
