Day 8

Dad has a little bit of a sore throat today. His white blood cells are down to 0.1, or 100, he basically has no immune system right now. This is the time to be extra careful to make sure everyone is washing their hands and he is doing his personal hygiene regimen.

Tonight he began to run a slight fever of 99.5. Not much to worry about at this point.

He is still having some diarrhea and bowel pain. They are still giving him the Dilaudid to help with the pain.

Dr. Benson says they may need to give him some red blood cells or platelets in the next few days depending on how he is getting around.

Do not pay attention to the date headings as they are the day that I post, which sometimes are a day behind. All the days are there.
