So today was another appointment with the doctor. Mike went 2 weeks with having a fever so they thought his adreanal (sp?) glands weren't working and they were tapering his meds too quickly. They upped his prednisone to 30 mg and his fever went away. Now he has general achiness and a sore throat so at today's dr. appt they found what they think is strep throat. They are waiting for his cultures to come back but Bryce, the physician's assistant, said to start the ammoxicillin (again sp?). So in general Mike feels like crap and doesn't feel like talking so if you call and get voicemail don't take it personal. His white blood count and his platelets are up too so they are monitoring it. He is still on blood thinners to help w/ the blood clot in his lung and they removed his IV line.
Now they're concerned that his kidney isn't being flushed properly and there's buildup of toxins so they want him to drink A LOT of water. LOL.
On to other news: We no longer have a cat - Sox was peeing in my clothes so Sox found another home. Dakota is having panic attacks so he's peeing in the play room every time we leave the house. Not sure what to do about this yet.
Bri leaves on Saturday for San Diego and will be gone a week. The house will be silent. We had high school orientation for her last month and I'm not sure how we got to be parents of a teenager :(
Mason will be here in 2 weeks (once I buy the ticket.) He says he's coming - now with more holes in his head :(
Otherwise nothing much to report in the Holliday Home. Call, text, email, facebook if you'd like. You will always get me - not so much Mike.
