going in the right direction

Hi Friends,
The results of the blood work came back today the the bilirubin is down to 7.4 (normal is 1) and his hemoglobin went up a point to 10 so that is good. The other levels stayed about the same. We go to Dr. Schubert tomorrow. He is still fighting a urine infection but is on antibiotics for that. His strength is coming back slowly. We are looking forward to Easter at Cassie's. We enjoyed watching Marianne, our grandchild, in the choral concert lat Saturday but we couldn't stay long enought to see Matthew. He is only a freshman so we have time for him. Marianne had a solo and did a great job. Our friends Ed and Jayne got back from Bonaire so it is good to have our neighbors back. I did find out that Northwest hospital does do chemoembolization if we choose to go that route and the same radiologist that did Joe's last procedure is the one who does it so that would give us a comfort level. That will be down the road after we try IPT when the bilirubin gets lower. For now Joe is just doing IV Vitamin C. Please keep praying that we can hold off this beast awhile longer. God Bless Mary Anne
