The Journey Continues, Day 13 or +5

Just another quick update on Richard.

The fever is still there and goes down with tylenol but comes back up as the tylenol wears off. At one point it was 103.9.  Today he didn't really feel like eating and has added some stomach problems to his ailments.  He is still coughing and has coughed up some yellow looking stuff.  His lungs have been listened to and sound fine according to the Dr.s and nurses that have listened to him.  They are running various other test just to rule out some bugs that can crop up.  The nurse told us this afternoon that this is all part of the process.

His white blood count has reached .03 which they consider no immune system and it may go on down to .00 and he may be there for several days before it starts going back up.  They have told us that when the immune system starts going up this will be when there could be the graft/host issues.

Thanks for all the prayers, visits and phone calls!!

2 Chronicles 6:40 (New International Version)

 40 “Now, my God, may your eyes be open and your ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.
