Go Red Raiders! We are sitting here watching the University of Houston and
Texas Tech Red Raiders playing football. We were warned this morning that we didn't want to say loudly that we were for the Red Raiders being in Houston. That would be like tell Olney folks you were a Holliday Fan in Olney. We have had a fairly uneventful day. Had platelets last night and of course had a reaction to them. His body just doesn't know what to do when it gets something he needs. Ran a pretty good fever after they started the platelets, but finally went down. He has felt better today, but still not good. Just a little fatigued. Counts are still very low even after having blood and platelets on Thursday and Friday. Hopefully counts will start rebounding now since we have some good blood. We hope to get the PIK line out tomorrow. Decided to leave it in this time until we were sure we would need no more blood and platelets. We are officially completed with round #7 and look forward to the beginning and completion of Round #8. Just three more weeks we hope.
