We received good news this morning! John's platelet count has continued to improve and the Hematologist is recommending a gradual decrease in his prednisone dosage. Tomorrow's bone marrow biopsy results should give us more information about what is happening in his body and the doctor will meet with us to discuss a plan for the future.
During our discussion this morning we wondered about how much of our time has been consumed with John's health issues since the beginning of March. I consulted with the calendar and the myehealth website to come up with the following figures: 17 doctor appointments, 23 lab visits, 5 surgical procedures, 1 overnight transfusion in hospital and 12 additional nights in hospitals. Needless to say this has been exhausting for both of us! John has been amazing!...this was a lot to endure at 82 years.
Hoping for a steady flow of good news!
