THURSDAY - Game Changer

THURSDAY was a game changer! 
I woke up this morning only to fine that the blister sore in my mouth had tripled in size with my tongue about 70% covered in painfulness. Could not eat or talk very well at all.

So Dawn called Dr Singh at 7am and he made the arrangements for a platelet transfusion a couple hours later at Sherman. That went fine and I was done by about 11am. Then just afternoon at home things took a digger--- my temp has been normal ever since I got out of the hospital almost two weeks ago. Then, bam, it is 100.5 to 101.2. This is not good so Dawn called Dr. Singh and I was admitted back to Sherman an hour later.

Oh boy, not in my plan but we deal with it optimistically. Tonight I got a shot of nuprogen to boost my WBC count which is now only .2! But my platelets went from 18 to 75 tonight so the platelet transfusion is helping. HGB only dropped form 10 to 9 which is OK. The rest of the night I'll get a couple of antibiotic IV's.

They will culture my blood to see any signs of inspection. That is a big prayer need.
Guess that it for now,
Virtual hugs to all (I am neutropenic so not hugging or touching anything)

PS...

Bob Marcom Not to gross you out, but this was two days ago. Today it much worse but I think it may be starting to improve. At least I have normal temp this AM but likely here for another holiday!!
