Day 7

There is nothing much to report today.

Dad will get platelets tonight, but his red cells are holding, so no blood transfusions tonight (which surprised me).

He had a little nausea today and dizziness along with semi-low blood pressure. His heart is in a-fib again, but that hasn't changed. The important thing about the a-fib rhythm is that it doesn't "flutter" - it's out of whack, but it's consistant.

He is eating - or trying to, even though he doesn't feel like it, which is good.

We are all a little bummed about the weekend coming up. We had great plans to all get together on Mother's Day before Dad was supposed to go in the hospital on the 10th. That and we're playing trivia tomorrow night as a team - sans Dad now (which will really stink. I wonder if they'd notice if we used our cells to have him at the table? ).

I know it has hit my Mom hard. Though we're grateful he went in early verses later to control the leukemia, it's still disappointing.

Thanks for checking in!
