Doctor Visit

After visiting with the doctor yesterday afternoon Terry went into the infusion room for an IV antibiotic because he still gets a fever and needs the extra help to get rid of whatever infection is present.  We will also be getting this antibiotic for daily home infusion today, and all this week.  Dr. Smith said he probably should be re-admitted to the hospital but agreed to allow us to handle it at home since he said he thought he was doing slightly better.  It's a good thing he thought he was doing slightly better yesterday, because I don't see much improvement other days.  It's also a good thing he hadn't had any shaking chills before that visit or he would have been sent to the hospital.  

Red blood counts look pretty good for Terry, which means that the transfusion he had all night Friday while in the hospital are still hanging around.  All other counts are about what they have been lately.   No big changes for better or worse.

He wishes to be up and doing something but has no energy to allow that.  We will keep hoping, praying, and doing the best we can.
