A bit of good news came today in that my hemoglobin count was 9.8. Since this journey of trying fight off or buy more time with the preleukemia which made itself apparent in a bone marrow biopsy last September, it has been an uphill struggle with one week a month rounds of chemo and often weekly blood transfusions to keep my count above 8. So once more, thank you Jesus!
