I started the day by running a slight fever and feeling fine, but as the day progressed I felt much worse and the temperature went over 102. I have not mentioned it in previous posts but I have been having a problem with having low blood pressure. When I went back for the 5 o'clock appointment today they got very concerned because of my low blood pressure. They were going to send me for an EKG but that section was closed for the day. They thought they were going to have to send me to the emergency room but after I had ice bags under my arms for about an hour, my temperature came down and my blood pressure got in better shape.
My white blood cell count today jumped to 1.64. My platelets did not drop as much as they usually do so I'm hoping that this is an indication that my bone marrow is now producing platelets.
As I write this, my temperature is normal and that is the first time in several days that it has been normal.
So glad to read that your temperature is back to normal tonight. I hope that means that your blood pressure is in your usual range too. I wish a better day for you tomorrow. It seems like no two days are ever the same. When you leave for the hospital each day, you probably wonder what will happen today. God bless you both.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a better day today and no temperature and a normal blood pressure. I can only imagine how difficult this is for you, Reta and your children. I admire you for keeping the faith and maintaining a good attitude.
