Tim is having more of the weird pinching sensations along with some other strange pains. In many of the groups that Cassie is in, others talk about strange things that happened to them and how it improved as their numbers improved and the donor cells started to grow more. That gives me (Cassie) a good outlook but Tim is more concerned that there is more to them.
His counts are still going down but have not completely bottomed out quite yet. We expect them to bottom out in the next couple days. At that time, it is likely he will need blood products.
Tim was able to finish his 3rd marathon today. All the nurses and other workers on the floor are always so celebratory with us. It is very heartwarming for them to be so encouraging!
PRAYER REQUESTS:
That the strange sensations/pains Tim is having will end up being nothing abnormal.
That as his numbers bottom out and start to rebuild, his body reacts as well as possible to the changes.
PRAISES:
We mentioned a couple days ago that he was starting to feel a mouth sore come on. It never really did develop and he doesn’t feel any others. That is a huge praise as those tend to be one of the things that bother him most.
Tim still doesn’t have much of an appetite but the nausea isn’t really bothering him anymore either. He eats even when he is not hungry (as he is encouraged to) and has maintained his weight pretty well.
