Change of Plans

I got to the hospital today and Bob was not feeling very well. His white count had gone up to 1 which was great and the other count that was TLTC on Saturday was 0.9. His hemoglobin was low so he had a transfusion red blood cells. These carry oxygen to his body so hopefully tomorrow he should be feeling much better. Platelets are close to needing a transfusion but we'll wait and see what tomorrow brings. Platelets help with clotting. He had a low grade fever all day and some nausea again. They're checking his blood often to make sure there isn't an underlying infection.

We didn't do anything that we had planned. Bob really just felt like being in bed. He didn't eat anything but a few noodles and a couple bites of pear at dinner but at least he ate something. This was his first meal of the day. He slept through breakfast and lunch! We did walk a couple of loops around his floor but that was the best he could do.

I'm going back to the hospital tomorrow afternoon to spend a little time with my honey on Valentine's Day. :) Will take some cupcakes to his nurses, who have all been wonderful. Bob has had tremendous care. For this we are so grateful!
