Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to let everyone know that Dad is in the hospital again. :(

Dad was released from the hospital last Thursday and Mom loaded him on an airplane on Friday to go to Las Vegas! Fortunately, we were able to spend the weekend together as a family. Every person attended Justin's daughter's baptism in Las Vegas over the weekend. Mom and Dad flew back home on Sunday afternoon. By 1 a.m. on Monday he had a high fever and Mom took him back to the hospital. He was admitted and has been there all week. We are keeping our fingers crossed that he will be released today or tomorrow.

His fever is caused by an abnormally low number of white blood cells called neutrophil and the fever accompanying it is called neutropenia. We believe that today he will begin to receive a series of special shots that will boost his bodies white blood cells and help him recover. The shots should also help his immune system.

If all goes as planned, he will be released today or tomorrow. Thanks for keeping him in your prayers.

Kellie
