T - Plus 7&8

I have been running a low grade fever for a couple of days and then this morning(Fri) it spiked to about 103. They don't know for sure why. The Dr. thought it might be a reaction to the antibiotic I was on so they discontinued it and started me on another. The scheduled infusion of Retuxan was delayed by a couple of hours but not postponed. So some adjusting here and there and we are back on schedule. The fever has been gone now for a few hours and the Retusan is about over. One of the reasons for the fever being controlled is the use of steroids and they do not like to use it if they don't have to because  the stem cells may not be fully grafted yet. Hopefully the antibiotic will manage that now. All together it's a winner.
