Hospital Again

Right as things seemed to be rockin' along so well, Ray had to be admitted to the hospital this morning due to his platelet count being so low. Yesterday, he began to notice red spots and bruising just under the skin, so this morning during his visit to the Dr., we learned that's what happens when the platelet count is dangerously low. He was sent immediately to the hospital, and platelets were ordered. As we're waiting for the platelets transfusion, he starts running a fever. So then the transfusion was put on hold, blood cultures and chest x-rays were done, and they began working to get his temp down. Finally, about 6:00 this evening his temp was back to normal, so he could receive the platelets. I guess we'll learn more tomorrow about cultures and x-ray results. When I left the hospital around 8:30, he was totally exhausted.

I'll let you know what happens tomorrow. Please keep him in your prayers. Thanks, I know you will!

Love you all,
Kim
