Friends of Ed;
Father had his appointment with the hematologist today at 09:30. I again followed the plan of taking father over to the hospital in the wheelchair as the weather was good. They were quite efficient at the hospital so we did not have excessive waiting times. The hematologists report was very good. Father’s ferritin levels were well within range even though his last phlebotomy was about a year ago. The doctor says he should be good for another year before any follow up is required. He did listen for fathers breathing sounds through a stethoscope and then sent us for a chest x-ray. It isn’t fully clear to me at this time whether the doctor was reacting to father’s new “normal” breathing sounds or whether there was something specific that was concerning him. The trip back was as smooth as the trip to the hospital and we arrived at Alta Vista Manor about 11:15 – just in time for lunch. Overall I was very pleased with how things went.
