Just read your update about your husband being transferred from ICU, you both must be so happy to be in a regular room. Day 11 was when my husband began running a fever, even though he had started the anti-everythings to support the lower counts, they joked with him that he was a day late. It only lasted the one day, minor infection in his line and then lungs. A few items that helped, a warmed blanket around the neck and shoulders and then a little warm apple juice to warm him from the inside out. Works fine unitl they begin removing the covers, then ice packs - rinse and repeat. Also he found the small neck roll pillow comfortable, something to look for in your spare time

So glad you were able to take a little break!

Hugs to you and your husband,
Debbie
