Minor setback on Sunday – developed chills and fever and had to return to MDA Emergency Room. Admitted late Sunday evening and remain in hospital today as they continue more tests to try to determine source of fever. Tests have included multiple blood analyses, throat swabs and cultures and late this evening a bronchoscopy to further evaluate a couple of small spots they observed in my CT scan. Have also received blood cell transfusion and two platelet transfusions over the last two days.
They have ramped up my Valtrex and antibiotic dosages, and my fever does seem to be coming and staying down. Hope to get this figured out soon so I can enjoy Christmas at home and prepare myself for my upcoming stem cell transplant.
Please keep me in your prayers and know that I truly appreciate all the support each of you has provided to date. You continue to be my source of strength and inspiration. I wish each of you a very blessed and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Struggling some days, but keeping the Faith. I know God has a plan in store for me even when I don’t have the patience or clarity of mind to always see or understand it.
Yours in Christ,
John L.
