Please say a prayer for Bobby
So, Bobby's back in the hospital. I was waiting to post it, thinking maybe he or Margy would want to -but I think they've been busy. I heard it is up on their facebook, though, -so it must be public knowledge already. We've been getting phone calls.
Basically his platelets are way low -the normal range is 130-450,000 and he has 1,000. Blood platelets are what cause your blood to clot. The doctors are thinking this has been caused by a delayed reaction to his bone marrow transplant from me last year. If you remember, they had to kill all of his cells and replace them with mine. Well, BK's cells must have been lookin' for a fight -the doctors think that maybe one or two survived and it has taken 2 years for them to multiply exponentially enough to pick a fight with my cells. None of this is confirmed, since some of his tests can't be run until they have the platelets under control. I spent a great 2 1/2 hours with him up at the hospital this morning -his spirits are high and we had great bonding (just like the good 'ol days in Chicago). Please pray that this will be resolved as quickly as possible -I think his wife and children would appreciate him home and healthy for Christmas.
In 1962, Irv Kloska and Bonnie Kowrach stood in St. Adalbert's Basilica in Grand Rapids and pledged their lives to each other. More than 40 years and 13 children later, their family has grown to more than 70 members... and counting. With this blog we keep in touch and share our thoughts - much like we have always done around our kitchen table. But like our table, friends are always invited. Welcome!

This is completely unacceptable, BK. Hospital visits during the month of December are just not allowed any more. Get better and get home NOW!
Prayers are coming just to be sure you're following orders.
Ditto from Ruthless. Get home. :) Love and prayers!
You're on the prayer list, Bob!

Count on lots of prayers, Bob--and the rest of the family, too, of course!
Keep those spirits up Kloskas!
Keeping each of you in my daily prayers for restored health and for continued blessings to go all around the family. God is great and little miracles are always being given.
From Texas - wishing each of you a very Merry Christmas and a glorious New Year!
