Well, I've got 15 minutes left of the sacred shushing hour of Bill O'Reilly to get a post finished.  The long and short of it today is that Ed's white count dropped below 500 today and he is running a slight fever which they are watching very closely.  That means that unfortunately, the doctor has imposed a ban on ALL visitors, even the kids, just until his white count comes up and the fever goes away - hopefully no more than a day or two.   Ed says to say he's sorry about that and hopes no one takes it personally......we just have to put 100% into making sure we do the right thing for the long term.  He wasn't feeling so hot today anyway - somewhat of an increase in the abdominal pain and a little of the nausea and diarrhea coming back, so we've been really taking it easy - no walks today and just a very short shower for him.  The doctors are also working on getting his nighttime sleep situation to a better place since he still has trouble staying asleep for any period of time and he needs more concentrated rest.  Everything else is just status quo here at Los Robles Hospital.  18 days and counting.....

We see that it's raining here in Thousand Oaks and the wind is whipping around pretty good.  No sunset tonight - the sky is pretty gray.  We're going to snuggle up and watch a movie and call it an early night. For those of you who have ever partied with Ed, that crack in the universe is the sound of Ed going to bed before 3 AM......!  Hold onto your hats.....Ed says the universe may temporarily come off of it's axis...... He also says thanks to all of you who are keeping a few silver bullets on ice for him and he also says not to drink them - he's planning to toast one with each of you soon!  Until tomorrow.......
