28.9!

Clinic visits were very quick so they could move a week's worth of patients through in just a couple of days.  Eric just donated a few vials of blood and we were able to leave.  Thirty minutes later, through the magic of the internet, we were able to see his lab results.  His hematocrit is 28.9!  Normal is 41-53, so 28.9 may not seem like much.  But since Eric's has been hovering around 26 and 27 for weeks, this is great news!  Eric is feeling so strong he will probably want to go snowshoeing Christmas morning.  We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!
