I meant 290,000. Sorry about that.
His levels are 160,000 this week. He is done with the Prednisone now, so we will see if his levels remain within normal limits. Dad has had a good energy level so far.

Dad did very well with his Rituxan on Friday. The only reaction he has had was mild chills which did not last very long. His last platelet count was 290, which is very good. He is on a gradual reduction in steroids.

Dad has a preparatory class on Rituxan on the 14th, and the chemotherapy may begin on the 17th. I spoke with him on Thursday and he sounded good. His energy right now is better and he is able to do mostly normal daily activities. Thanks for your ongoing prayers.

The titer analysis for Hep B revealed nothing significant warranting treatment. Dad begins another round of gamma globulin infusion tomorrow. He has five days of this, 5-6 hours a day. Thanks for your prayers and support.
