Got my Bzz Agent kit with the coffee in it and tried a pot. It was great. Michael loved it and you all know how much Michael loves his coffee. In the kit they sent a bunch of coupons for the coffee. I have passed those out to friends and family and if I didn't get one to you, I will try to pass them along the next time I get a kit.
Now on to Michael. He started his chemo a couple of weeks ago and so far so good. His platelet count is low and his white blood cell count is also low. The second weeks chemo had to wait to make sure that the doc wanted to give it to him or not. But they did.
He had an appointment today to see if they would put a port a cath in his chest. It is a procedure that they do on chemo patients so that they do not have to start an IV on a weekly basis. It is easier on the patient and the nurses. So we went to this doc and he told Michael that he had to be off the chemo for at least two weeks in order for him to put one in. So we went to the oncology department and told them and they said that it was hooey. You see if there is a problem with the cath and it doesn't heal right, he could get sepsis and he could die. So we are a little leary about putting one in. But the nurses state that it is done all the time without problems.
So we told them (both the doctors) to argue it out and let us know what they decide. So we hope to hear from the doctors by tomorrow.
We had a wonderful visit with Kim and Mom this past few days. They had to stay an extra day as Mom's car died. It was the battery and as soon as the new one was purchased and put in, the car purred. So they stayed an extra night with us and it was great. I enjoyed their company and I know that Michael was glad to see them.
Michael has been tired and that is to be expected with the chemo but he would really like to hear from all the friends. Give him a call 316-323-7050. It is better to call him in the afternoon. I hope that all who read this will give him a call of encouragement.
Take care and God Bless.
