Overall, I think I am doing very well. Saturday was a rough day as an infection settled in and I started running a fever. IV antibiotics seem to be working to control it. Saturday was also my first episode of nausea. While that was short-lived, my appetite did leave me for a few days. I tried to escape from this 8th floor room to go look for it, but couldn't get my IV pole past the front desk.
My blood counts bottomed out yesterday, so last night I received my first blood transfusion and this morning I received platelets. For the first time in three days, I wasn't tempted once to curl up in a blanket and drift in and out of conciousness. In fact, I even called the office a couple of times, but there weren't any real crises, so I tried to focus on some WACO work.
For the next two days, my mission is to hang out, not spike a fever, eat as much of whatever food is put in front of me as possible and await Thursday's bone marrow biopsy. From what I've been told, the results of that will determine what will happen in the coming few weeks. I appreciate so very much everyone's prayers and positive thoughts as the end of the week approaches.
