Coaster Ride Downhill

Today's update for those that don't see my Facebook posts; 

Ray's struggling just a little more today as his blood counts drop more and his rash & mouth irritation kicks up a couple of notches. It makes eating & swallowing very painful. He'll probably be drinking lots of smoothies for awhile. We are hoping the pain meds help. And because his platelet counts dropped he is getting platelets today. They tell us that THIS coming week will be the hardest for him. :-( So this roller coaster is on the downhill ride but we're not worried cause we know it will head back uphill again if we just hold on!
