Day 22 - September 5, 2008

Erkki has a sore mouth and throat today - hoping it won't last long or get worse than it is.
He is very tired but otherwise okay
He hasn't had blood or platelet transfusions for 2 days and the counts have not dropped - sounds to me like this is good news. I will find out more when I go into the hospital a little later.No movement on the white blood cell count as yet. This should happen some time in the next few days.

Ian calls the patients' lounge (across from E's room) the "Pukonen Palace" because we seem to take it over regularly to watch the US Open, use the computer or entertain visitors when Eman is up to it.

Today I will show Erkki this site....he will love your comments!

Erkki: Wonderful to hear that you are up and about this week. We are out of town for a couple of weeks, so cannot drop by. But, glad to see this site -- What an amazing family you have. I will drop by to say hi when we return after the 20th... Stay well. Peggy and John and ...
I've talked about you, Tachy and all of your kids for so many years with my family, and so, they think they know you well enough to send their love as well -- so, love from Courtney, Lauren and Michael too.
