Donnie continues to have bouts of nausea that put him in the fetal position for half a day or night. He is not eating very well due to his nausea. He continues to get a liter of IV fluids daily.
His absolute neutrophil count (the white cells that help him fight infection) BEFORE chemo this past Tuesday was 1.3 (very low). Dr. Z gave him chemo anyway. Then, they attached a crazy technological device to his arm that would deliver NEULASTIN (a medication that stimulates his bone marrow to make more white cells) subcutaneously exactly 27 hours after his chemo was given. WOW. We are so blessed that we did not have to take him back to the clinic a day after chemo to get that shot.
He feels pretty crummy. He had a very rough evening and night yesterday. He’s had a rough day today. If he doesn’t turn around soon, we may be visiting the hospital again. Please keep praying for him. He is such a good soul. It is hard to see him so weak and vulnerable.
Love, Tina

One other important component is that if you are an older person, travel insurance pertaining to pensioners is something you should really look at. The more aged you are, a lot more at risk you’re for allowing something bad happen to you while abroad. If you are not really covered by quite a few comprehensive insurance cover, you could have many serious problems. Thanks for discussing your ideas on this web blog.
