4/15/2017 OSU Spring Game

It was a good day down here in Columbus! OSU Spring game was today. Chris was able to watch it on TV. Plus they had highlights of last years MI vs OH game which was fun to watch. I was a little concerned because I heard how crazy it gets with all the people and parking problems. It wasn’t bad but this was just a warm up for the fall craziness.

Chris’ white blood count is up to 2.87 today! Pray that these are the best white blood cells EVER! Hemoglobin and platelets were low but not low enough to need a transfusion. Things were going along pretty good till this evening. He has a temperature of 100.9. Now if it was 100.4 or lower it isn’t such a big deal but over that, there could be an infection, and that IS a big deal! So blood work, chest X-rays, Tylenol and more antibiotics were needed. During his chemo he had a inflammation or infection in his bowels, so it could be that again. Or it could be an infection somewhere else. Problem is that he can’t go home if he is still on antibiotics. PRAY! We were looking at Wednesday as a possible discharge day but we still need to take one day at a time.

Due to possible infections, Chris needing to rest and trying to figure out his new schedule with doctor appointments and all, when we get home we have decided that it would be best if he doesn’t have visitors for the first week. After that we will see how he is doing and I would ask that you call me in advance to see if you can stop by for a short visit. It got a little crazy when we were at Toledo Hospital so I just need to make sure he has time to rest and heal! Love you all and we are looking forward to seeing you soon!

Christos Anesti!
