Sorry I haven't posted much in the past week. Its been crazy since I've been back to work as we're trying to get the federal return out the door. So between that, and the girls starting school and daycare this week and the hospital, I haven't had much time for anything. Leo is feeling better. But his counts haven't come up much. His WBC has come up slightly he is now at 0.5 which is still horribly low, but he was at less that 0.1 for months, so any little bit is an improvement. Hopefully the counts will start to come up soon, as that's they only way they'll consider letting him go home. He's much stronger than he was in the last couple weeks. He can now get up on his own to walk around or just go to the bathroom, so that's a huge deal.
Leo hasn't eaten in weeks and the doctors are a bit concerned. It's not that he doesn't try. He will try to eat something and it will come right back up. So he just hasn't eaten. So on Friday, his doctors added Marinol to his medicine buffet. What's marinol you say? Prescription marijuana. NICE!!!!! I hear it's all the rage. Hahahah...but the doctor's exact words were that he was going to start Leo on this Marinol so that he will "get the munchies" and hopefully start eating again. Hahahahaha.....He's been taking it for 2 days now and hasn't had any of the "munchie" side effects. So we will see how effective it is. :)
Leo's had a lot of visitors in the last week and I was to thank everyone that's taken time out of their schedule to come by. Especially to everyone at MTG. It really means a lot to Leo when people come by to visit and just appreciates the company and being able to talk to people other than his doctors and nurses. So if anyone else was thinking of visiting, please do so. Just make sure you're not sick. Thanks in advance.
Leo and I celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary last Sunday. Obviously not the most ideal place to be celebrating, but we had a nice day just hanging out and watching our wedding video. We've been through so much in the last 7 years, but I think it has only made us stronger. Obviously, there's things I wish had turned out differently, but I think we've done our best to deal with what we were given. Without the great family and friends that we have, it would have been so much more difficult. Thank you all so much!
I hope everyone enjoys the long holiday weekend!

Hey Leo and Bernadette, I usually do not speak for others, but I know all your family and friends would agree with me when I say that you guys are inspirations to all of us as we witnessed your strength, tenacity, bravery, consistency, perseverance, and complete devotion and love through this difficult time. So, I want to say thank you to both of you for being such great examples to all of us.
