Day 13

Jeff was feeling pretty badly today, and this morning his red blood count was less than half of normal. So, the nurses ordered up some red blood and Jeff started to feel a little better. Just as that was happening the doctor came in to shove a needle into his hip bone to collect blood and marrow for the biopsy. I think we'll know something (not everything) some time tonight.

In the mean time, Jeff's eye hemorrhaged again, but not as badly as last time. He is getting another bag of platelets right now so that it doesn't get any worse. He was still feverish this morning, so he'll be stuck in the hospital until at least Sunday.
