Day + 9 A Long Day

It's late and it's been quite a day so this will be short. Last night I didn't have a very good sleep. The docs scheduled me for a CT of the abdomen yesterday, so I had to quit drinking anything (which was just clear fluids anyway) until the CT department called and then I had to drink prep fluid (lots) for 2 hours prior to the scan. Unfortunately, it was only this morning that I got in to CT due to volume. Anyway, when I woke up after coming back from CT, the doctor had results and it confirmed not only that I have typhilitis but that it is extensive (not just at the meeting point of the small and large intestines) and it is severe. They will be consulting with infectious disease doctors and watching it for a few days before considering consulting the surgeons as well. I am already on 2 antibiotics to help control the typhilitis, but really to possibly heal I need my immune system to do that. The very good news is that since I reported last, mostly over last night, my neutrophils went to 2.2 from 0.2, which is an amazing thing. I need them to continue climbing to help prevent the thyphilitis from advancing. I know that jump was helped by the Red and White love I have been receiving over the past days. Please keep it up...but don't feel you have to buy a new wardrobe of red and white!
