Tracheostomy removed, Bob needed blood again...


Family and friends,


Yesterday Bob's blood results came back and they were low which was very concerning for the doctor, especially since Bob hasn't been bleeding. She said it may be an indication that his leukemia has come back. We won't know those results for sure until late Wednesday. Hopefully she's wrong. So in the meanwhile, she had to give Bob 2 units of packed red blood. His counts were in the 7s. In addition, Bob had his trachesotomy removed. He said that it didn't hurt a bit. The only thing is that his throat is very sore and he can't speak again temporarily because it hurts too much. He's got his swallow test later on this afternoon that he's looking forward to because if he passes he can drink clear liquids again.


Please say a prayer for Bob in hopes that his leukemia hasn't come back. If it has, he's going to have to be transferred to a specialty cancer hospital possibly out of state and he's going to have a long road to battle, worse than before (if that's possible).


Love and thanks,

Michele

  1. Praying for you both, for clean biopsy results, and for peace while you wait for them to come in. Not knowing is the hardest part...

  2. Praying she is wrong, and listen to your heart and all the prayers your are getting. The man has been to the end and back, i am sure there could be many reasons for it. Keep fighting and keep the faith.
