Ok, so keith was able to get his stem cells harvested yesterday. They took about 11 million or so! No more shots for him now! He hated those things. They caused lots of issues, but for now, we are done!
He came home yesterday and crashed. Slept all afternoon and most of the night. Woke up at 2am and had a fever of 101! Not good! He said he felt lousy, had a headache and his throat hurt. He did get up and eat and apparently that helped.
Hindsight, should have called UNC at 2am, but he wanted to see if eating would help. After calling this morning, they said, next time, CALL! No matter what time it is!
Going to monitor him for fever and call if it comes back. Hopefully it won't. Now we just wait.............something I am NOT good at!
In the meantime, he has to have pretty much no contact with anyone if he can help it. He has to wear a mask when he goes out of the house (to dr. visits, etc)
I will post later when we know what/when the next step is!
Thanks everyone!
Thanks for the update, Renee. Keith is always in my prayers. I so pray that he can get the same kind of success out of his treatment, that I'm getting from mine. I'm positive that prayer and our medicine is helping BOTH of us to find our way back to good health.
