About the same today
Les's white blood cell count was at 0.7 today. His fever is gone and they are giving him something to work in the bone marrow to create new white blood cells. He did try and eat more today and sat up in a chair for about an hour and a half. He has been experiencing some major heart burn/acid reflux which makes eating even more unappealing than it was before since it hurts when it goes down. Dr. T came at 7:30 am, so mom didn't get a chance to talk to him and she and the nurse couldn't read the notes he'd left. Even with all the practice mom has had reading messy handwriting, it was mostly undecipherable. Hopefully she'll catch him tomorrow.

I hope those blood counts go up! I don't understand all of the medical stuff, but please know we're still "rootin" for you, Les, and pray that you'll get your strength back.
ReplyDeleteThis rain was nice for the corn and soybeans. If we had about 1 1/2 good days, we'd have it all planted. Tomorrow is District Track in Auburn, so we'll be heading southeast.
God be with the Blobaums as you keep up your treatments!
I appreciate reading the updates and keep praying for strength and healing from our dear Lord. Please know that we are thinking of you all often and sending good energy and hope your way. Blessings to you!
