Yes, Jeanne, his white count is 0.4 ....... as of now, his temp is 102.7 .....it went down to 101.4 at one point, but keeps spiking, as the nurse said it will until we get the infection under control. They are waiting for a window when it drops below 100.5 to give him a pack of platelets which he needs. Today will be just watch and wait and keep trying to get the fever and infection under control. He's on 2 different IV antibiotics. The port site is still draining pretty good so they have to change the dressing every few hours. Just waiting for Dr. Menco and Dr. Mazur today around lunch time to give us an updated plan. I'll let you know when I have more to report.

Liz thanks so much for keeping us all in the loop - you are a godsend. Otherwise we would be setting up tents at Los Robles and the Silver Bullet Palace to stay abreast of things. Let me know if there is anything at all I can do to help. Love you guys, TC
ReplyDeleteI was hoping that 0.4 was a typo, but deep down knew that it wasn't. Prayers continue!
ReplyDeleteEd,
ReplyDeleteWe are thinking about you and praying for God to heal you every day! Now that you've seen a few episodes of 24...we want you to call on your inner Jack Bauer and fight like Jack would. We know you are a tough man and you have a lot of people pulling for you. I know of 3 half-pints who are looking forward to you showing them your tractor again...and possibly a hot rod someday if I wrap them in bubble wrap first and promise not to get them within spitting distance.
Fight hard and Sending you lots of hugs and love and wishing we could take all this yuckiness away for you,
Stacy, Gary & Munchkins
