Kevin's fever was gone at the hospital. But they treat any fever as if it is an infection. The cultures won't be back for 3-4 days. So we won't know if this is an infection or just his body's response to all the stress it is under.
We left the hospital after 7 and went straight to the BMT clinic. They did lab work. Found that his platelets were down to 6. 10 or lower is when they give platelets so they gave him a bag. They also gave fluids because he is unsteady on his feet. A bit of potassium too.
He is pretty weak and we had to use a wheelchair today to get him around.
I'm writing this at 3:30 and his fever is back up to 101.
The good news is that the nausea is gone, or at least for now. So he has eaten a little bit today. And he is drinking pretty well.
Please pray that: the fevers go and stay away
Wisdom and calmness for me
That his blood work looks better tomorrow
Blessings,
Kathy
