April 20, 2017 Another biopsy

Hello Family and Friends that are like Family!

Chris is still getting fevers! Not just little fevers but Big Fat Greek Fevers, 102 – 104! His doc wanted a bone marrow biopsy done today because all the other tests for infections have come back negative. She was also concerned that the hemoglobin count and the platelet count are not going up at the same pace as the white blood cells and the neutrophils. Preliminary results should be available tomorrow late afternoon.

You probably know that you don’t really “rest” at the hospital. Dietary comes in and out of your room twice for each meal. Usually 2-3 doctors come in to chat about your health and just to chat. Your nurse and the “patient care assistant ” or PCA come in to check your vitals and give you meds or whatever else you may need, every hour or two! It’s not as bad at night and the RNs and PCAs try not to bother you but they have to do their jobs too. Can you imagine EIGHT plus weeks of this? I know everyone is doing their job and I’m very thankful for all of these folks, but my poor honey!
