Not good news
10-19-07
Hi all,
Bob is in the hospital again. He went in Monday due to Hemoglobin at 6.4, and platelets at 4.4. He got his third BMB, and today the doc said that it didn't look good. He didn't go into detail,because he didn't have all the results back. I guess we will get the rest of the info either tomorrw morning or Monday.
The doc told Bob that we would just try to maintain either at the hospital or at home, and that he could go home as soon as he wanted to.
He has pneumonia, and is getting IV antibiotics for that. He is right now recieving a porta-cath. Of coarse, he has gotten quite a bit of blood, 6 units, and 2 packs of platelets since Monday.
His RBC is around 2.5, WBC is around 1, and Neutrophils are around 0.1. This has been the same for around 6 weeks. He is not responding to neupogen.
Will keep you all posted.
