Today makes one week since Bill started treatment for T-PLL. We celebrated the first week anniversary in the hospital. We are glad that the infection happened before we left for Florida. It would have been a nightmare to find a hospital or physician that could treat Bill while in transit.
So far the infection is being controlled by the antibiotics. Bill was started on Cefepime - 1mg last night and has had three doses by IV as of this posting. If the fever goes away and does not come back tonight we will be able to go home tomorrow. And let me tell you we will run home. We will put the pedal to the medal in the motorhome.
We heard from the baby sitter that Tweedy misses us terribly. Wendy, who works with Mike, has been watching and caring for Tweedy while we are out of town. Tweedy is the department pet sitter. Many thanks to Wendy and Scott for taking our baby in.
Throughout the day Bill was not feeling good. He noticed that his vision was not normal so the Dr. had an Ophthalmologist do a consult. Bill passed the eye exam with flying colors. The doctor said it could be caused by the Chemo, so he shouldn't worry about the eyes. About an hour ago Bill took a shower and he has started to feel better.
Thank you to everyone that has sent e-mails, facebook posts and phone messages. Your well wishes and prayers are welcomed.
