Leo's been getting the mouth sores from hell. Apparently it's a side effect of the medication that he's taking, but he says the pain is so bad sometimes that it feels as though it resonated through his entire body. Luckily, he went to the hospital today for his regular checks and the nurses were able to give him a medicated mouthwash that helps to numb the pain so it's a bit easier to deal with. Hopefully it will help.
Other than that, he's doing ok. Still getting transfusions Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Today he got 2 units of blood. His WBC still hasn't come up, so we're hoping that will turn around soon.
That's really all I have to report, but I guess no news in this case is good news, right? I hope you all enjoy your weekends! Take care!
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.
