Back to the Hospital

On Sunday Mike had to return to the hospital. He was very weak and not able to to function. When he got to the hospital he found out that his blood count was low and that he did not have any white blood cells. So, he was given blood and they are being very careful to make sure he does not get any infections since his body does not have any way to fight off diseases right now. He is feeling a little better this morning, but even after 2 units of blood, he is much lower than normal. We will have to wait and see if he will get any more blood. He is going to remain in the hospital until he gets a little better and his white blood count goes up. They are also going to do several tests to see what else they need to do.

Tomorrow he is scheduled to receive his last dose of the chemo treatment. At this point that may get delayed if he is not able to handle the treatment. We should know more as he gets more test results. Hopefully he can get strong enough to complete the last treatment and continue to fight off the cancer.

Hopefully things will turn around and the road to recovery is coming soon!
