Friday, 24th June

Jimmy seemed a lot more positive today.  Prof saw him in the morning and Dr Du Toit did his rounds while I was there.

We had some more results back and Jimmy has an upper and lower respiratory infection which is a mixture of viral and bacterial.  They are going to repeat the infection markers again tomorrow to see how much change there is from the 80 and also do antibiotic saturation levels.  I presume this is to see if they can increase them or to see if they need to be increased.  His temp was slightly up today and his blood pressure has dropped a bit but generally Dr Du Toit is happy with Jimmy's progress.

Hopefully when I get there tomorrow he'll have the TV on.......then I will know for sure he is feeling better :)  Thanks very much for all your messages and support, I have passed them on to Jimmy and he is very grateful.

Vivienne, hoping Jimmy is better now? Home? I "yelled" at him below, on your first post about his illness. It's so hard for myeloma patients to accept the seriousness of myeloma, and accept that they must take protecting their health seriously. Hoping he is much better. Please let us know. xoxo
