Tony got 2 platelet transfusions, a blood transfusion, several infusions of antibiotics and a CT scan of his gut today. In order to get the CT scan he had to drink a full liter of a special liquid that he really didn't like. So that was a rough part of the day for sure. He is still having some fevers, and he had to lay on some ice packs in the middle of the day, which he hated. His oxygen is also very low because of his partially collapsed lungs, so he has been on oxygen all day. He hasn't been able to eat today, his appetite is completely gone and he's been having problems with his gut. We're hoping to get results on the CT scan in the morning. The best news of the day is that for the first time in over a week, Tony is not feeling worse today than he did yesterday. We are hoping this means it will only be up from here, especially if they can figure out his stomach pain. He was also feeling well enough tonight that he was able to watch a couple episodes of the Big Bang Theory. Yesterday he could barely talk, so this is a significant improvement, and he is feeling hopeful.
