Yesterday I was writing about the good report that Richard got from his Dr. but yesterday turned into a nightmare for Richard. He is feeling really bad. He has either caught that stomach bug that has been going around the area or the problem he had, that started in September is coming back. I am thinking he has caught that stomach bug and hopefully it will go away quick. He is also suffering from sinus pressure, sneezing and coughing.
The nurse also called yesterday and said that his CMV counts were up to 700. Those are those pesty little virus' that everybody has but someone with a compromised immune system they can go crazy fast and the Dr.s watch them pretty close. If they get up to 1000 they are going to put him back on another antibiotic. This is the antibiotic that messes with his counts and keeps them low! How weird and twisted that seems. It would seem like somebody could come up with an antibiotic that would not mess with those counts, especially for those with a new immune system.
Of course, Richard has headed to work after having a very rough night. He did say that he might come home on his lunch hour. If this problem persist Richard or I will be talking with the bone marrow Dr.
Pray for this stubborn man that he will get over this fast!! :)
How is he feeling now, Brenda?
