Well the weather is still gray and kind of cloudy here. Stefan is sleeping now at this moment. He is receiving 2 units of blood. His WBC today was at .4, not much movement but it is moving. His Hemoglobin is at 8.9, his platelets are still at 14, kind of low. Hence the blood units. No fever today, but the blood culture they took on Thursday evening showed an infection in his Piccline. Meaning somehow a "bug" bacteria got in during a dressing change. You know they are in the air and everywhere. Cannot see them buggers, they just "land" anywhere and start a colony. Ha ha . Stefan is on antibiotics of Cefepime and Vancomycin. They stopped the Cipro while he is on these meds.
Well it finally happened, Mr. Kojak came to visit him and left his calling card for him. Meaning the rest of Stefan's hair on top, took a stroll going, going, gone. Ok he still has a little hairline on the back of his neck, and I mean a little line. Hey ! I could see the scar he got when he was in a motorcycle accident with Andy Bury, YEARS ago. And it was right on the corner of Long ave and Wrightwood, way before we even lived there.
No walks today either, he is tired and in bed. According to the doctors they THINK he might go home around tues or wed, but that is not definite. Really that means, when his counts go up, no sooner. Also Stefan will not be able to SEE the Super Bowl Game on his big TV. Oh well at least the Bears are not playing. But Dana & Lynn are rooting for the Seahawks, who else would they do it for.
