"A Bugg Birthday"
Update from Emily:
Tonight all the "Bugg" children and grandchildren met at my sister's house to celebrate my brother, Adam's, birthday. We had a wonderful time eating, laughing, talking, and telling "remember when" stories. Austin (3) and Andrew (4) sang a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday for their uncle before consuming their chocolate cupcakes!
My dad was very specific about Adam's presents this year - and lest you think that we are getting too sentimental or sappy during these days, I am happy to report that Dad wanted to make sure that I picked up two Wii controllers for my brother's 29th birthday. We took videos and lots of pictures, and I can't wait to go to the hospital tomorrow to show them all to Mom and Dad.
Dad is doing okay this evening. His WBC (White Blood Cell) count this morning was 0.10 (another rise of .03 of a point!) We continue to pray that they will increase more. Please join us in this prayer. Please also pray for Dad to gain some relief from nausea and weakness. He is currently unable to stand without feeling faint.
Thank you again to everyone for joining our family in both times of celebration and prayer. Happy Birthday, Adam!
*** I will post some pictures tomorrow!

So we continue to pray for upward white counts and less dizziness & nausea.
Take care all!
