Gary had a rough afternoon and evening yesterday, being very nauseous and not able to eat or drink much. This morning, the doctors were concerned enough to have him stay hooked up to fluids for an hour. They also administered an anti-nausea drug by IV hoping that would help. Gary's white blood count dropped significantly the day before, so that is the cause of the nausea and general "UGH!" feeling.
The nutritionist said if all he could do was drink ... to drink calories. So, if he feels like it, he can have all the milkshakes he would want. *smile* I did find out that a small milkshake at Dairy Queen contains 560 calories. Ouch! I guess I can't join him each time he wants one. Having one yesterday morning helped him to come close to his daily calorie goal. Thank you for your prayers!
HEMOGLOBIN - 9.4WHITE BLOOD COUNT - 1.4
PLATELETS - 134
WEIGHT - 100.7 kilos
On another note, please pray for Gary's father, Bob Phillips. He is in the Philippines ... admitted to a hospital for pnuemonia. This is very hard on his wife, Sue, to not be able to be there with him since she is here with us. Thank you!
