Mike will try to post later tonight or tomorrow.
We need all the prayers, good vibes and special wishes to crank up a notch. He hit a "speed bump" last night that meant a trip to ER and finally being admitted early this morning. He has a condition called neutropenia (low white blood cell) that is the result of chemo, which will probably mean a delay in the final chemo scheduled for Monday. Very disappointing news, but understandable.
With the low blood cell count comes the possibility of an infection which is exactly what happened to Mike. He's resting comfortably and has improved today with IV antibiotics. He'll be released as soon as the WBC count rises to an acceptable level and the doctor is satisfied that the infection is under control.
In case you're wondering: The radiation train didn't stop--he was carted on a gurney downstairs earlier this afternoon. He's got two more radiation treatments after today. Yippee!
