APRIL 23, 2008


We are still in isolation..and waiting for his counts to come up.
Hemoglobin is 88*
Platelets are 15*
Neutro-polys are still 0.00*
Mr. T doesn't want to eat.......he continues to feel nauseous. He has ondanestron and gravol all day long. He's refusing to let the nurses put the blood pressure cuff on him because of pain in his arm muscles. They have been putting the cuff on his leg but that doesn't give an accurate reading. This could be due to a low calcium level. Today they did another ultra-sound to see if there is any change in his kidneys.
Mr. T just wants to sleep.....he's not interested in television or his games. Hopefully he will feel better when his counts start coming up.

Sleep is good though, isn't it, right now?

You both are the bravest people I know. Even after twenty years of nursing, I am a wimp when it comes to such a serious illness. God bless you.

Hi Marcia.
Right now sleep is very good! Mr. T's attitude is great. In a month he has only lost 6 pounds...which is good.

Kacey,
I'm not brave...but I do have faith in God...I know we're in good hands.
Thanks for stopping by.
