Hospital stay # 3
Hi all, sorry it's been a while, sooo much has been going on. Chemo didn't seem to change much and this past Sunday(10/12) he had been feeling very weak and right along his levels would go up and down with every transfusion. I called the on-call and they had me bring him in to the E.R.. His levels were back down to 5.7 so they started giving him blood and admitted him to the MICU. On Monday they kept transfusing and monitoring and on Tuesday they did an endoscopy- no new bleeds, just seepage. Wednesday they met with the Radiation team who think they can help the bleeding - so he began his first of 15 radiation treatments on Wednesday. He goes every Monday-Friday for 3 weeks , chemo is on hold till then. They didn't release him from the hospital until 9:00 last night! We lost track of how much blood he received but I think it was 6 or 7 units. He is exhausted but happy to be home. Hope all is well in your world, thank-you for the support :)

ReplyDeleteHi Cathy, I did ask about the blood but they said just keep donating to the American Red Cross... because of the antibodies, it is a very particular blood. Many thanks :)
