Day 20 - Evening

So the xray taken today of Matt's chest didn't really show anything, so a CT Scan is scheduled for in the morning.  They will take a closer look at the lungs and spleen to see if either might be what is causing the pain.

He has been pretty heavily medicated today due to the pain, so we still haven't buzzed his hair.  He is really loosing a lot of hair now, especially where his head rubs on his pillow.  Of course the hair is getting everywhere, in his drink and food, so he is constantly wanting to check for hair on everything.  Hopefully tomorrow after the scan results come back he will want to cut it all off.

His swollen legs and feet are going down some now that they have taken him off several of his antibiotics.  He also doesn't look as yellow, his color is coming back.  So that is all good, praise God. Hopefully when they take blood this morning at 4 a.m. it will continue to show his blood and platelet counts increasing, showing his body is waking up and making good stuff on it's own.  We still didn't need blood or platelet transfusions today.  So YEA!!!!

Hopefully we will have an uneventful night and nothing new will be bothering him tomorrow.  The bone biopsy is still scheduled for Monday. 

Continue to keep us in your prayers.  We still have several months of chemo treatments to go once we get home.  I'm thinking we have maybe two more weeks here in the hospital before we go home, so pray we both keep some sanity.  23 days of son and mom together can begin to take it's toll.  :)).

Love to you all!
