Day + 4

Views

As it turns out it is only day +4. No blog yesterday, just not enough hours in the day, realized I missed it at about 4 AM. Judy is doing pretty well all things considered. They have had to give her blood transfusions as her counts are absolute zero. No reds cells, no white cells and no platelets. All of this is fairly routine. One of the major problems is regulating the temperature in the room. It can change as much as ten degrees without any help at all. The nurse came in tonight and commented about how cold Judy had it in here. I informed her that no one had touched the thermostat and then the excuses started from her. They are very good at not taking any responsibility here for anything that occurs. I believe that they teach them to CYA!! You can buy the type of thermostat that they use here at Home Depot for about 15 dollars. It is totally ridiculous. The doctor told Judy that she is right where they expected her to be and these things are all normal. Well maybe not the thermostat. Still running a fever and had another chest x-ray today, more precautions. Thanks to those of you who are sending cards. They are a bright spot in the day for her. Keep the good thoughts coming her way!!

  1. Hey, Judy -- I love that Marc is keeping us updated (what a great guy), but I really am looking forward to when you'll be writing again ... because it will mean you're feeling much better. I hope it's very soon! -- Shelley V.
