Mitchell is home and he spent his afternoon putting together a Lego set he received from a family friend. He got it while he was in the hospital but it was too big to assemble there. It's huge and has 2503 pieces. We are settled in and are strangely looking forward to work.
Mitchell has an appointment on Friday for blood work. His numbers this morning were low, Platelets at 8.3. anything under 8. is a blood transfusion. The doctors are expecting that to happen. Will it be his last? I don't know, but would say, probably.
Friday evening we will be going to the first game of round three playoffs. He was invited by the Portland Winterhawks to be the seventh man at center ice at the begging of the game. This will be his first time in skates since December. He's very excited.
Mitchell and I are very excited about something we have in the works to give back to the community that helped save his life! We will reveal our plans at a later date, but we've got something cooking!! And it is soooo cool!!!
We also want to have a party for him in May or June to celebrate his victory over cancer. As soon as we have a firm date we will start sending invites.
Also, although Mitchell has not written anything on the blog, he has read every comment left and is blown away by the number of followers he has and how many times his site has been visited. Thank you for all the comments!
