Soon we'll be making updates every day, its just that not much has changed, and I guess that's a good thing.

Right now, we're in the room with Blake and the power is off in the room. The generators run only the important stuff (Like the respirator and pumps)...

Blake has been fighting like a champ, but he's got a long way to go. His fevers continue to come and go (usually as high as 104) but he gets iced down it goes down. His blood count continues to drop towards more normal levels (from over 200,000 a week ago to 49,000 today) They want it to get to 100 to make sure most of the cells are eradicated so they can begin to build them back up to the normal 5 to 10 thousand.

I want to send thanks to all that have offered blood and marrow but all I can say is, give blood as often as you can cause you never know when someone you know may need it.
