My son just called and he said the doctor says he's okay. His platlet count is elevated because of the fact he has no spleen and as he ages, his count will be higher without one. He goes back in three months and the doctor said unless it continues to climb, not to worry about it.

So that's a huge relief!

Good news!

18369. Jenerator - 1/31/2006 11:35:24 PM

Thank goodness.

JaH, whew!

t'ful, how is your hubby doing?

Oh, while I'm here ... bring them to justice.

Happy to hear it, Judith

Wahoo! Glad to hear the good news J!

Hubby went to the gym today for the first time, though he really took it easy. He hasn't had a fever in a couple of days and is starting to look a little more human, though still gets wiped out pretty quickly.

He went to see doc and will be going for a cat scan on thurs. Doc thinks the infection may be related to his enlarged prostate which can cause some urinary back-up leading to infection, but the cat scan will tell us more...give us the status of his kidney stone. He's still on antibios which is good.

Thanks to all of you for asking and your kind expressions.

Tell him to take it easy, Thoughtful...he's probably more exhausted than he thinks!

18374. arkymalarky - 2/1/2006 1:42:14 AM

YEAH JUDITH!

18375. arkymalarky - 2/1/2006 1:43:53 AM

Hey Jex! Dad sent it to the publisher last week and they expect to be done around the first of May.

18376. arkymalarky - 2/1/2006 1:44:51 AM

Y'all forgot "terrists."

18377. Magoseph - 2/1/2006 2:12:55 AM

Hey, Arky, listen good--he's going to talk about the sorry state of education.

18378. arkymalarky - 2/1/2006 2:32:51 AM

Yeah, I can't wait. Anytime people ask me how I feel about NCLB I just tell them I'd be fine with it if it were retroactive to its creator.

3 for me:

So the United States of America supports democratic reform across the broader Middle East
[...]
Democracies in the Middle East will not look like our own
...[no kidding!]
the nations of the world must not permit the Iranian regime to gain nuclear weapons.

18381. Magoseph - 2/1/2006 3:01:43 PM

I won, didn't I?

18382. thoughtful - 2/1/2006 3:23:04 PM

No mags, I won as I picked the single word repeated most frequently. Yeah!!!

Now you all can go ahead and crown me!

18384. PsychProf - 2/1/2006 5:38:36 PM

Good news Judith...very good

18385. anomie - 2/2/2006 12:15:00 AM

Ever notice how when Bush uses the word "bipartisan", he really just means the dems should shut-up and color? I'm not sure he knows what the word means.

18386. judithathome - 2/2/2006 12:31:54 AM

Thanks to all of you who expressed happiness at my good news...I was really stressed over this the past week.

18387. anomie - 2/2/2006 12:40:01 AM

I'm happy for you Judith.

Makes my small ordeal today very minor. I've stressed for two weeks waiting to have a tooth pulled. It's over. No pain. And I think the valium is reducing my anxiety right now to the point where I can post a few comments here. I feel like an idiot being anxious about the dentist.

Good to see you all doing well.
