This morning mom, my husband Jim and I arrived and again Jerry was sitting up, finishing his morning cereal. Today he got his Special K. The television was on, and when he saw Regis and Kelly he decided he wanted to shave...and he did. He has been off the Bi-pap machine since before we got here and it is now close to 10am. He doesn't talk much because it is easier for him not to...but when he does he is mostly clear and understands what is happening. He is resting quite comfortably right now...dozing off here and there, trying to read the ticker on the CNN channel. Dr. Kaplan came in moments ago, and told us his white blood count has gone down from 39,000 yesterday to below 12,000 today. Very good news. His lungs are still very full of fluid, and his kidneys are being watched closely for failure due to all the medications he is on. This will be the third day of chemo. He is asleep right now, with his glasses on.
