A Bit Better

Tammy, John and I have all started taking turns sleeping at the hospital. The last few days have been really hard on Tony, but he is doing a little bit better every day. Friday was definitely his worst day. But I want to update how he is today.

He hasn't had a fever in the last 24 hours. He also hasn't thrown up, though he has had nausea and a few bad headaches. He's off the oxygen today too.  His red blood cells got low enough for a transfusion so he had one this afternoon. His kidneys are in much better shape today and his LDH numbers are finally coming down after being over 10,000 for 2 days. (Yesterday morning the LDH got so high that it inhibited them from getting an accurate read on anything else for a few hours). 

He has finally been able to start eating a bit more today, though its still not much. 

His nose started bleeding around 2, and they weren't able to fully stop it after more than an hour, so he also got a platelet transfusion. 

He completed his 4th infusion of chemo today. He has 3 more. The oral chemo he'll have to take for 21 days. 

We're hoping he'll be able to come home by this weekend.
