Kenny Update--March 23rd

Early last night Kenny developed a mid-grade fever that continued to stay on the horizon. “Big Red” went into the trunk and the wait started. The temperatures to watch for is a fever of 100.4 for 4 hours straight or a temperature of 101.0 one time. ALL last night and this morning he made it to just above the 100.4 twice but for only two hours. We left for the doctor’s office for his scheduled 8:45 blood transfusion appointment. Again his temperature in the doctor’s office moved up and down but not high enough to have him admitted to the hospital. It went from a high of 100.0 but was down to 99.5 just before we left the office after a 5 hour stay. So we are home after a long day but continue to monitor his temperature closely. They performed additional blood work today to see where he is and his white cell count is a 0.2 from the chemo treatment. Next week it should be back above the 3,000 count after his body starts to recover. So we wait. “Big Red” is being left in the trunk just in case. P.S. No sign of singing, dancing or laser beams coming from Kenny – Just a nap on the way home. ;~)
