The results of the Thursday night blood test: the ANC went from 160 to 330 - FINALLY!
We dedicated Friday to sleeping as much as possible. Randy dozed in the recliner all day, getting a light fever on and off. He did try to eat breakfast and lunch but nothing tasted good. Then we ordered a pastrami sandwich from McAlister's, which was good enough to cheer us both up a bit. Later Dorian woke us up at 1:30 am to let us know Randy's ANC went to 880. There's something I don't mind being woken up for - praise God!!!
Saturday was another day of resting, although Randy got some laps in while I was showering at the hotel. Unfortunately his fever still came back mid-day. This prompted an evening visit from nurse Judy who accompanies the doctor on his visits. They've given it 72 hours so now they want to run more tests: re-do the blood cultures, get nasal swabs to culture, get an EKG, and do a CT scan. They are checking if something new has developed, or should they keep doing the same thing.
