Leo has been doing really well. As of last Friday, his WBC went up to 5.6! Over the weekend, though, he was feeling exceptionally weak and could barely get out of bed. When he went to his usual appointment at U of C on Monday, they almost admitted him because his blood pressure was so low. In addition, his WBC had dropped to 3.1. Luckily, his pressure came up a bit and he had no fever, so they let him go home. They ran some blood tests on him to make sure he doesn't have some kind of bug, but we haven't heard back form those yet.
Yesterday at Sherman, he was better and his WBC is creeping back up, and was at 4.2. So we're hoping the episode on Monday was just a little detour and things will continue to go up after this.
Leo's birthday is this Sunday and we were thinking of having a gathering of friends, but since he's not feeling great, we'll postpone to another time when he will be able to enjoy everyone's company.
There is a donor drive today at NIU in Dekalb if anyone is in the area and has not been able to register. I've emailed the details to my regular distribution list, but if you need them, please contact me!
Have a great day!
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.
