Well, we got a little good news yesterday, they have found a parial match on his platelets, hopefully things will start changeing. Had 4 units of blood and 2 of platelets yesterday, his spirits still very low and can not convince him that he will be coming home. Will be so glad when Monday comes as his regular dr. will be on the hospital rounds this week , and he has such a great bed side manner. I think it will help Dean alot. The bad side of yesterday was he seemed to have more diarea then he has been having, it embarreses him so, because he has no feeling in that area, and usually messes up the bed, that is why I try to take care of the cleaning of him and bed, he needs to have some pride left. I get him up and to the toliet every two hours but yesterday, it changed its course and he had one in bed. Poor baby it was a mess and he didn't even know it. I got him up for the regular schedule bathroom visit and it was every where. I had to call nurse and get her to unhook him from everything so I could put him in shower. They changed his diet alittle yesterday though it is still liquids, he was able to get some cream of chicken soup, and that made him happy. His son came in yesterday from beach and went up and seen him, and Dean told him that he was sorry but he probably wouldn't be back home, that this was it, and he hated to leave but it was time. Thank goodness his son stood up to him and told him , no he would be back home and not to talk like that.
Well time to get my shower and get up to hospital just wanted to say thank you all for your prayers and listening to me.
