Bob back on cancer wing, will be here awhile

Family and friends

Last night they admitted Bob back to the cancer wing. They gave him blood, platlets, and antibiotics throughout the night. Unfortunately when the oncologist came to visit this morning none of his counts had come up. He still has a fever albeit a low grade one. We had a consult from the infectious disease doctor as well. He is taking cultures of his tracheostomy site as well as his bed sore site to see if they are infected and are getting him an MRI to see if the bed sore wound got deep enough to infect bone in his back. In addition they have to put a picc line in but his platlets are still too low so they stuck poor Bob a million times for IVs and blood. He neausous, tired, and in lots of pain.

Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Love and thanks,
Michele
