Today.....although his neutro-polys were only 0.15....they went ahead and took out his port and put in a broviac. Guess they didn't want to wait till it was 0.2 We don't have much time left before we go to Toronto...and they want to make sure he heals well. Mr. T went into surgery at 10 a.m. and didn't come out till after 2 p.m. I was wondering what was taking him so long....when Dr. Ruben had told me it should only take an hour and a half. Apparently when his Port came out...he tried unsuccessfully to put in the Broviac on the same side...but he couldn't. Some blood vessels had collapsed so he had to put the Broviac into the right side of his chest.
Mr. T was extremely sore and on morphine all day. His chest was all bandaged up on both sides...and he refused to eat or drink.
He slept all day on his back.
Today his counts were:
Hemoglobin is 85*
Platelets are 53*
Neutro-polys are 0.15*
It's going to be a rough night!
