Tuesday, day (8). It was a hard day. Started with very low blood pressure reading during the the 5 am reading. I was fasting for the heart procedure so I could not eat or drink so the IVed some liquid. Did help a lot.

They took me in at 9am for the heart procedure. Carol said they had to shock me twice before I become rythic again. I think that helped me feel a little better.

Plasma count was down so I had a transfusion about 11am. For some reason the transfusion did not help so I am getting another transfusion as we speak. Hope this one will help the numbers.

Blood pressure has come back up.

Tyson, Val and Kelsie came up about noon. Good to visit with them. They took Carol and went touring. The have tickets to the rodeo so the came and took Carol to the Yeh!

Dr. like to blood numbers and pleased with the progress. I hope tomorrow will less eventful.

Is the blog back up yet. I tried a hour ago and it was down. Hang in there brother there will be a few more downs yet to come and then it will start going the other way.

I checked in with Leland today and found out that he does not have leukemia but does have a blood problem that they will treat with chemo. He is in Provo this week getting started and then it will be every week or so after that. Not much going on around here, just alot of hot days. Keep the faith and we will get through this thing. Hope to see you next week.
