Someone asked, haven't we been in the hospital longer than eight days. Yes. The count of days is the number of days we are counting down from the first IV chemo treatment to day 21 which is the day another bone marrow test will be done. So we have actually been in for 12 days.
Matt's temp is still staying between 101 and 102+. He finally slept some at 4 a.m. until now. We will start more antibiotics and a patch for long term continuous pain relief. We've got to get his temp to 100 or below before we can start more blood then platelets today.
Good news overnight is there isn't kidney failure, lungs remain clear, and haven't found what's causing him to be so feverish....which means no bacteria found yet. So that is good.
We giggled last night when the fever was almost 104 and he was talking crazy talk. I think he watched too many Borne movies this week....because the CIA was coming to cut his legs off for sale at auction....so if he kept complaining his legs hurt they wouldn't want his legs....which apparently are a secret hiding place for swords. He was also very worried that I still might try to walk and eat Oreos at the same time which apparently could kill me.
His heart is being tenderized....he has told me he loved me for all I'm doing, which I told him I'd do no matter what. This morning when he was a little awake he wanted to make sure I go eat breakfast. He is also talking about when he gets out of the hospital not "if".
I can not begin to list all the thank yous to all of you who have done so much. Continue donating blood (see earlier post how if you don't know), continue prayers, specifically we can break this fever, pray for continued peace within his body.
Love to all and have a great day!
