I promise I'll do better about keeping you all updated. I did post a message (rather lengthy) Sat. evening and I am not sure where it went. It is floating away somewhere out in cyberspace.
Tues. morn.: Ray gave us all a scare last night about 8:00. I was getting my things together to go home for the night. He'd been running a low grade fever most of the day, so I ask them to check his temp one more time before I left. Well it was 103. Fever is very dangerous since his immune system is so weak. His white blood count is "undetectable" (Dr.s' words) right now. Immediately, they began doing blood cultures, chest x-ray, etc. He had meds going in orally and through the IV. They tell me the fever is due to blood values being so low. The body reacts this way to all the changes. This morn. his temp was 102.3 so all the meds were given again.
He received 2 units of platelets yesterday and will get 2 units of red blood cells today.
The longer we're in the hospital the more we realize how blessed we are with so many good friends and family. A group is saying the rosary for us each Mon. 7 pm in the hospital chapel and it is so comforting. I just can't tell you how wonderful it is.
We see other patients that are reminders for us that are problems are so small in comparison.
"Life is hard some of the time; God is good all of the time"
Love you all,
Kim
