Checking In On George

Nov. 6, 2013 - Monday was a rough day for George.  He spiked a high fever, legs swelled even bigger and his knee replacement knee was very painful.

Antibiotics seemed to help.  They found a small blood clot in his lower left leg, (knee replacement leg) and he now is on blood thinning injections, which is tricky since he has low platelets.

Overall, he seems past the crisis of Monday.  We are waiting for those white stem cells to start to grow.  Hopefully, today we'll get some news that he has started to produce them.  He is on the end of the average spectrum now, at day 15, so those white cells should be showing up soon. 

George is enduring a lot.  He probably won't be home this weekend as we expected.  Hopefully everything will start to level off and we'll see great improvement soon.

Thanks for checking in - your support is appreciated. j
