Day +10 starts off early. Around 2 a.m. my nurse informed me that I will be getting both platelets and blood transfusions today. I asked why more platelets since I just got them yesterday. She informed me that my platelet count went down due to the fever I had last night. I spiked at 100.9. At 3 a.m. they prepped me then at 4 I started with the platelets then moved into the blood. I have two bags of blood to go at about 1.75 hours each. I should be done by then. My bronchoscopy is scheduled for 11. I'm told it's basically a lung wash. They will take samples of fluid and possibly a biopsy of the lungs. Infection has set in. Not what we were hoping for. But we move on from here.
I'm sorry you are in the hospital. My sister-in-laws sisters sister-in law (what a mouthful) works there. Her name is Loyen Fielder. She is a great nurse and I hope you get to meet her unless of course she only works in ICU!!
ReplyDeleteWow Barb. She is on our floor tonight. They are going to ask her to come in and meet us. My son's wife's mom's partner (another mouthful) works in the building as well as an occupational therapist. I ran into her today in a hall that she says she never travels in, and then she came to visit us. Small world.
