SUNDAY JUNE 1, 2008

The Nabilone is working! No more puking...but Mr. T hasn't started eating yet. This is his 10th day of fasting.
Yesterday he got his last chemo treatment....Asperaginase in the large muscle of his leg. He has been having fevers though..up to 40.7 which they have been treating with Tylenol. He is so medicated that all he does is sleep....while I do crosswords or read and try to make sure he's comfortable. Yesterday he received 750 ml of blood and more platelets.
Today he received more platelets and they started him on Voriconazole which is an anti-fungal drug.
Finally tonight he had a small box of Fruit Loops......I had to beg him to eat, as I know darn well that they will put a tube down his nose if he doesn't. Hopefully he can keep that down.
He is finally watching a litte bit of television which is a big improvement compared to the past week.
His counts haven't fully dropped yet....but they will.
Today his counts are:
Hemoglobin is 76*
Platelets are 17*
Neutro-polys are 0.46*
And he's starting to eat. That's a good sign!
