The Journey Continues: Week 13 after transplant

This Wednesday was another day of waiting, of course. LOL  Richard has been really tired this week.  He took lots of naps over the weekend.  He has been coughing and throwing up but he says that he is throwing up the phlegm.  He has a rash that has slowly became worse.

Today the PA didn't come in the room to see him until she got the blood work.  I think she also mentioned that she didn't want to give him the news. He needed a shot again for low white counts.  He also will need at least two units of red cells tomorrow.  He was not happy.  They are still saying the low counts, the rash is all part of the host/graft and it will pass. They did say if he didn't use the ointment the rash could get worse and maybe not ever go away.  I think he will be using that ointment.

We left the city after four and stopped by the hospital when back in Enid.  They needed to cross type him again.  We stopped by Walgreens on the way home. We  didn't make church this Wednesday but I know that those there are praying for Richard.  They are praying for his healing and patience.
