Day 52 - Stem Cell Transplant
It seems that the dark clouds just don't want to blow away.
Jimmy woke up this morning complaining of chest pains so they did x-rays of his chest and he has got Pneumonia. Unfortunately Dr Fine did her rounds very early this morning so I missed her. I do not know how bad it is but the sister did tell me that he will be having a CT scan tomorrow. I also don't know what they will be scanning or why. Apparently he spiked temperatures right through the night. He also had quite a lot of blood in his urine again.
Apart from this I actually thought that Jimmy was a bit better today. He still slept a lot but when I got there the TV was on so he must have been watching the cricket. I managed to get him to have about a third of a bowl of soup for lunch and he had quite a few sips of juice today. He also spoke more today than he was for quite a while.
He didn't really react when the sister was telling me about the Pneumonia and when I left he said "so we getting there". I agreed and said yes we are but I am not too sure whether he knows he has Pneumonia.
I'm going through to the hospital at my normal time tomorrow morning and although I won't see Prof Novitzky and will see Dr Fine and have a chat with her and find out what is happening. Hopefully the news is not too bad.
