The Dr. decided yesterday that it was time for another bone marrow biopsy. The reason for the biopsy was due to the fact that Ray had received 12 transfusions during the previous 11 days and his blood counts remained at critically low levels. Causing most concern is the low platelet count and the body not responding to the platelet transfusions. We now have to wait for the results, but should have some preliminary results on Friday.
Having spent countless hours in the outpatient room receiving transfusions, as you can imagine Ray is sick of hearing all the Michael Jackson coverage and speculation about Sarah Palin's intentions. He's not able to concentrate on reading or other activities that require focused attention when he's feeling this weak and fatigued. Much like his counterparts that share the outpatient room with him, the TV helps pass the time.
We drove to Plainview this afternoon and ate lunch with Craig. Going places other than the hospital or Drs. office is always a good pick-me-up for him. Please keep him in your prayers. Thanks so much!
Love you all,
Kim
