Leo's doing better, as he has been fever free for several days. They have been able to confirm that the infection was from his central line. Not from this inside (otherwise they would have removed it), but on the surface at the point of insertion. His blood counts have been still pretty low, as he needed both platelet and blood transfusions over the past couple of days. His WBC today is at 1.2, so up a bit, but pretty consistent this week. Not much else to post, but that we hope his condition will continue to stabilize so he can go home soon.
Thanks so much to Octavio and Fevin for coming by today to donate platelets! As Leo has been getting so many platelet transfusions lately, it's great to know that he's got great family and friends to give this wonderful gift. Thank you!
My name is Bernadette Rivera and my husband, Leo was dignosed with Leukemia in 2007. I've decided to create this blog so that you will all have the most current information on Leo and what's going on with his condition and his transplant. I hope this will be an informative (and maybe even entertaining) tool to keep you posted on his progress.
