My nephew has improved a little bit. His platlet count is almost normal. No change with swallowing etc. Still sleeping most of the time and very weak. No change with pnuemonia. He a lot of swelling on the left side of his body the same side that is being affected by his brain. But I'm glad to hear at least his platelet count is almost normal again. Thats a good sign of improvement. My mother has to have surgery tomorrow. Nothing serious will be out patient. I have felt pretty good the last couple of days considering everything thats been going on. Got outside in the yard today and sprayed some weeds and played with my dogs and cleaned out their dog house and lot. Yup, spring cleaning even the dog house. LOL I have done a little cleaning in my own house but not much.
