We went to the hospital really early this morning. The ride there and back was a little harsh for Rob but he is a trooper he made it. They took his blood and his White blood cells (immune system) came back as .4, that is really low the normal is 4-11. They want it to be like this so his body doesn't fight. Today seems to be a lot better for Rob his nausea is some what under control, he is now on the couch and gets up a few times. He engages in conversation, watches TV, and plays on the ipod. When we were at the hospital this morning we went outside for about an hour, we just sat there but he did really well and enjoyed it. Today Rob asked for toast with jam, so I made it and just about gave it to him and realized he couldn't have jam. It is a shelf stable product, which means refrigerate after opening. He can not have that because the bacteria starts to form 24 hours after opening it. So he had toast and peanut butter. The alternative is for us to buy individual jams, mayo, mustard, ketchup, salsa sauce, salad dressing, I am sure you get the point.
It was nice to have Robs mom here, she kept me sane, as she says she kept me focused, lol there was so much to do that I didn't even think of I thought I had it all done, well except for the laundry, we had clothes in the closet to wear it is just now we have LOTS of clothes in the closet to wear. We go back to the hospital on Sunday for another checkup and assessment.
