12:30 PM Friday: We are on our way to the clinic. It appears Tom is fighting an infection and the Doc thinks he will have to be admitted for intravenous antibiotics. We don't want to alarm anyone, this is just one of those things that most cancer patients go through from time to time.
If you have time for an extra prayer for his body to fight this off, we'd sure appreciate it. Tom is very down at the thought of having to return so soon to the hospital.
Thanks for your help,
Thomas' Mom
4:40 PM Friday: Tom's platelets were still only at 20, even after the transfusion yesterday. His neutrophils are 0.0 now, but since he was not running a high fever, they gave us some different antibiotics, and sent us home after giving him yet another transfusion of platelets this afternoon.
So we hope to keep things under control at home, but if there's any change for the worse over the weekend he will likely be admitted.
