Getting admitted! Camdens white blood cell count is up!! YAY, BUT red blood count is low and platelets are low, requiring a transfusion for both. Platelet transfusion complete, but he got "a" hive from it, which is a sign of a "reaction." Boooo! Still waiting for red blood cell transfusion. The bad part to the day is the surgical site from cathetor placement is still red and swollen, indicating a possible infection. He will receive a precautionary antibiotic. Please pray if it is an infection, that it is only a superficial skin infection, NOT a line infection or blood infection, which would require removal of the line and further delay his stem cell harvest, which ideally should have been today! On the positive, the line is working and he has NOT had a fever!! PLEASE PRAY NO INFECTION, PLEASE PRAY THE LINE DOES NOT HAVE TO GET REMOVED, PLEASE PRAY FOR NO FURTHER DELAYS IN HIS TREATMENT PLAN!!!!
