Eric came home Saturday feeling pretty well and was so happy to be feeling that well, given how sick he was after the Rituxan last month. By late evening, he wasn't feeling quite so well. All the usual symptoms were present: fever, chills, aches, weakness, nausea, sleeplessness. With Tylenol and Zofran we tried to manage his symptoms as best we could, especially since he had to be back on Sunday for round 2 of his treatment. He started to feel better on the way to Anderson Sunday afternoon. By the time we got there, his temperature was back to normal.
Treatment went without any problems and he felt reasonably well. Night time rolls around and again, all the bad symptoms return. He was sick all Sunday night and Monday morning, but he felt better, except for feeling weak and tired, by early evening on Monday.
This morning, he feels a bit weak and we are seeing the "red dots" (petechiae) returning. We pray they don't increase and that we can stay away from Anderson until the next appointment on Friday.

I was happy to hear how well he was doing on Saturday and was upset when I checked in on the blog today. I guess everything is unpredictable right now and getting used to the changes is a huge challenge for you and Eric. Thanks for taking the time to update. I read daily.
