Hi everyone,
Eric had a very calm Sunday...no major problems. Eric had his 4th and final chemo treatment today. It's a good thing he will have no memory of the chemo treatments. The nurses were able to lower his oxygen help to 55% O2 and 10 PEEP (Goal: 30% O2 and 8 PEEP). This is the right direction to get him off the ventilator. We are really hoping he will be off the ventilator on Wed. It's hard to believe none of us have talked to him in over a week. Or I guess I should say, we've talked to him, but he hasn't talked back.
The hematologist warned us today that Eric is very, very likely to develop an infection because his white blood cell count is so low. The chemo has done its job killing off the white blood cells, but this leaves his body open to infections. We are hoping he amazes them again and skips the infection phase.
As Eric's condition has improved, we have started to catch up on sleep here. We are all starting to feel better.
Love,
Sara
