RD Update

Monday, November 15 I took RD to the Chemo Lab for bloodwork. He was suppose to go on the 18th but he needed to go earlier. His bloodcount was still low but up from the last visit. He was also slightly dehydrated so they gave him a bag of fluid. He goes back on the 29th. He fell on Tuesday last week and then again on Saturday. He is feeling better today, so I'm hoping that the Procrit shot is helping and I'm keeping a glass of flavored water by his chair all day. Thanks for your prayers.

RD Update

RD had bloodwork today and his blood count had dropped so he is back on the Procrit shots. He got the Procrit shot and B12 shot today. They are going to try to give him 20 units every other week instead of 10 every week so we don't have the drive every week. He goes back on the 18th and see what the count is then and go from there. He hasn't felt well the last couple of weeks and we thought that his blood count had dropped. When it got up to 12, we were hoping that his bone morrow would kick in and keep it up but it had dropped to 9.9 today. He will have a CTscan, breathing tests and see the pulmonary doc on Dec. 6th. Thanks for your continuing prayers.
