I always heard, "no news is good news". Yes all is well in Houston. This has really been a very non exciting round of chemo. We did spend about 4 hours in the hospital last night due to miscommunication between the Chemo department and our Dr.
Michael's potassium level was elevated yesterday morning after labs, and they had a normal bag of fluids for him when we arrived at the hospital to have the bag replaced which contains a very large amount of potassium. Of course, it was my fault according to Michael that I mentioned the elevated potassium level and that got everyone excited because of the fluid bag contents. We had to have labs drawn again and then wait and see. About 12:15am this morning, they finally got the replacement bag of fluids from the pharmacy and sent us on our way...without potassium.
I guess God gave mothers mouths so they could get things in a stir!!!!!! This morning his potassium was back to normal but his hemoglobin was a little low, but the doctor's nurse had talked with us in the Sky walk as we were leaving and commented on how well Michael looked. She called after receiving the lab results and said she was not going to order a transfusion today due to how well he looked when she talked with us this morning. He really feels great and has run no fever whatsoever...YEAHHHHHHHHHHH! Maybe we can stay away from the ER this weekend.
Hope everyone has a great fourth of July and remember the troops overseas and at home who are keeping our freedom......Thanks troops!
Love in Him,
Terri and Michael
