Sleepwalking????

Certainly a better day than yesterday. As you know from comments his neutrophils were at 10. We're both still wearing masks. His temp did rise again to 104.2 this afternoon and since he's been on IV antibiotics for 4 days they are asking for an Infectious Disease consult. He reported to me that he slept very well last night, but when I asked the nurses they said he had had a very high temp in the night, sweated profusely when the fever broke, then found him walking in the hall in his underwear. I guess that night nurse really did give him something to knock him out!!!! My sister Pat visited with us the entire afternoon and into the evening and Linda McCullagh stopped by for a visit. Both gave him a real lift. Barbara

  1. Barb,

    Tell Jim to stop advertising for Calvin Klein underwear ads...they don't want to see his "plumber's crack"...but we all can visualize it !!! Hope the temp goes down and he can come home to y'all...

  2. Wow Jim- if you're looking for attention I guess that's as good a way to get it as any other. But let's just keep the temp down. Good gosh- that chemo sure plays havoc with the body! Hope you'll get some good sleep tonight- no walking around. Love to both of you- the prayers are always there. God bless, Love Jeanne and Frank

  3. Thanks for updates. Still lurking here for news all the time. So much rain uphere, nothing else to do..... looking for sunlight each day and Linda just left at 7am with boots and raincoat to play golf?
    And, Jim, don't believe those stories. The nurses were taking you pills?
