The doctor came in today and told Dad he could start moving around. He said this would help get his stomach going again. With the help of his physical therapist dad walked 120 feet and did really well.
He is going to receive 8 units of platelets and red blood today. They are holding off on chemotherapy for now.
I just talked to him and he said he is feeling pretty good. He was even able to get up and take a shower today. He is making so much progress!
Thank you so much for checking his blog for updates. We have been amazed at the number of hits this site has received. We read him your comments every day and he appreciates them so much; so please keep them coming!

Hello Rose Family! Earl we are so sorry to hear about your battle with Leukemia. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. If there is anything we can do please let us know. Hope you come home soon and we miss you. It has been a LONG TIME since we dropped off quilts to Susie. Love ya, Mike and Claudia Merino
ReplyDeleteI cried reading your blog. I loved seeing the pictures of the young love birds. I am sure that this has been the hardest couple of weeks of your life! I am so happy that Earl is walking around. After Paul's phone call last Saturday, we weren't sure if he would be walking at all. It's truly a miracle that he is doing so well! We'll stop by this weekend to see him. We'll continue to keep him in our prayers. Love,
