God is good!! Things are much improved today. He does not have to use the BiPap machine anymore. YEA! X-rays show the lungs to be much clearer. He's still on oxygen, with the nose canula and his O2 sats. are very good with that. He's breathing is so much easier and his temp is normal. Praise God!
His white blood cell count has been steadily improving over the past three days. Dr. told him your own white blood cells are the best antibiotic you can have. His did receive another unit of platelets today and probably will receive more 2 more units of blood tomorrow. Dr. says not to worry about that, it is to be expected after chemo.
Results from the lung fluid culture show the pneumonia is a result of the chemo. A combination of meds can do that. The Dr. did mention however, doing another bone marrow biopsy in about a week to see what the leukemia is doing (remission or not) and if need be starting chemo again.
He tires very easily. His nurse today put a "No Visitors" sign on his door.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your prayers for Ray. Please persevere.
Love you all,
Kim
