pre-weekend report

the day hospital appt went pretty well yesterday. his bloodwork isn't too shabby. the white blood cell count is on the rise-just in time (i think he has caught a little cold). the platelets dropped down to 21 and he will probably get a platelet transfusion on saturday when he goes back.

his blood pressure is REALLY low...like 70-something over 40-something...so they are still giving him fluids everytime he goes in to try to boost that pressure. not real sure why it is low...

we will do the day hospital on saturday, monday and wednesday and be admitted on thursday for the second round of chemo. (at least that is the master plan as of today). pray that he is healthy and strong going into this chemo. his weight has dropped into the high 120's and it is a given that he will lose another 5-10 pounds with another round of chemo. i am not liking those numbers at all.

fred is coming down today and staying over to help us out on saturday...i have to work saturday and sunday.

megan made it safely to west palm beach yesterday...her dad is soooo jealous. i am not exactly sure how educational this trip will be but she deserves a little break from this chaos. she will be home late monday night.

well...that is about it for this update. i have to go get the kiddos moving.

thanks for checking in...
