Casey had his bronchoscopy today, and all went well. Hopefully the results will come back quickly and they can officially rule out tuberculosis and get him out of this noisy room. They have a giant machine in here to suck up all the bad air and blow it out the window. The volume on the television is at 75 to be able to hear it. It will take a few days for the tests to come back, which should show where the pneumonia is coming from. Good thing the biopy is sent to his Aunt Debbie's lab. His counts continue to go up, his white blood count is up to 1.0 today, and his fever was under 100 all day. I have no idea how long they plan on him being in the hospital, but he better not get used to sponge baths, breakfast in bed and people asking him every hour what they can get for him.
Casey got a nice letter from the Johannessen family today. Their son, Lars, who is a college student has joined in on growing a mustache in support of Casey. I think that is too funny!
We enjoy reading all of your comments, and are touched by all of your kindness.
Today is an even better day than yesterday. I can hardly wait until tomorrow!!
