A mixed bag

Today, things are a mixed bag. My dad started the day feeding himself. Yup, he poured his own milk into his own oatmeal, and ate with a spoon! Can you believe that?

But then later, when he was given his standard blood tests, his platelet count was down dramatically, to levels considered quite unsafe. Doctors now think the blood infection may have spread to his bone marrow. These are only preliminary guesses, so I'm going to try to remain positive.
