Jeff's been running a 104 degree temp for several days. Tylenol doesn't seem to helping much, so he is quite uncomfortable. His blood cultures have been coming back clean, so it's possible that the fever is a direct result of one of the chemo meds. Just in case it isn't, they've started him on a couple of antibiotics.
No word on the skin biopsy. I'm really hoping that it's not leukemia cutis, but we haven't gotten any good news this week, so those hopes are not very high.
Jeff's counts are bottoming out, and he'll receive red blood and platelets today. He currently has no immune system to speak of, so we have to hope that he doesn't catch anything too nasty.
Thank you for all the nice comments....it's hard not to cry as I read them.
