One step back, then one step forward.  We were released last night from the hospital because Morgan rebounded very quickly…GOOOOOOO Morgan!  We went into the hospital with an ANC (our immune counter) of 8 – you and me have about 1500 – 2000. So, not …

Unfortunately it is not the internet I am talking about.  Morgan’s counts were low this week, and with a virus going around, sure enough, we caught it.  Morgan stayed home from school on Tuesday because of a “feeling” I had, and sure enough, kids were …
