Pretty slow day today. Leo was still pretty groggy this morning as an after effect of the drugs from yesterday. He doesn't have much of an appetite today and I suspect it will not get much better in the coming week. He started his chemo today, but from our experience last time, he won't really feel the effects of that for a few days.
There was a bit of an issue earlier today when a transporter came to pick Leo up for an ultrasound that he wasn't aware of. As you can imagine, Leo's not really the type to just let anyone do whatever to him whenever they want. So he questioned what he was getting an ultrasound for and why. they said that he needed an ultrasound of his kidneys. The nurse told him that they were looking into the kidney failure that was reported. Ummmm....what kidney failure? It's never been an issue to date and the doctors have never said anything about it so Leo was quite irritated thinking that either 1. there was something the doctors were hiding from him or 2. a mistake was made. Luckily (well not for the nurse) it was a mistake in his chart. He does not have kidney failure. He was indeed supposed to have the ultrasound but that was just because one of his counts were a bit elevated. Kind of a big difference from kidney failure. So that was straightened out.
Other than that, he's doing ok. Have a great night and enjoy your weekend!
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.
