Richard had a good weekend. He stayed awake all day Saturday and Sunday. He spent a lot of the time relaxing around the house. He gets tired quickly if he gets up and does too much. Sunday we spent a little time at our house putting primer on the trim and walls upstairs. Rich sat and worked on the baseboard and worked on spots lower to the floor. He really enjoyed being able to help out and even said he was having fun!
Richard had his normal Mon./Thurs. bloodwork done this morning. This afternoon, they called him (unfortunately, they only call when there's a problem) and told him that his platelets are lower than they should be. His white blood cells have also plummeted again. (This is the same week in the cycle that his count dropped last time.) Because his platelets are so low, he has to get a platelet transfusion tomorrow morning. They had him go into LGH tonight and give a sample of blood (not like they haven't taken enough!) so they can find the best match. He has to be very cautious because his blood is very thin due to the lack of platelets. He also needs to monitor his temperature. He is home now for the night; he is feeling very tired so he went to bed early. That's the latest for now. Send your prayers for Richard tonight. Thanks!
Love, Daphne
