Bucky had had a stuffy nose for two months, so his doctor referred him to an ENT. They decided that they should do an endoscopy. So on Tuesday, last week, they went in, took a sample and drained his sinuses. He had previously been on antibiotics, but should the infection have been fungal, they antibiotic would make it worse. Turns out it was a bacterial infection, and they have switched his antibiotic. After the surgery he started getting a bruise under one of his eyes, and I told him to ask the ENT about that...well, apparently, the bacteria had been in there so long that it had started eating away at the bone. Soooo, if you have a stuffy nose for two months, go see your doctor!
Yesterday his WBC had doubled. Doctors are unsure if this is the leukemia or a result of last weeks surgery. So, in order to figure out what is going on, they have rescheduled his biopsy to today.
Hello family,
Bucky saw the ENT last week and had surgery to drain his sinuses. This past week he has been recovering from that.
Today he had an appointment and his white blood cell count doubled from 4000 to 8000. The pathologist is concerned so they are doing his bone marrow biopsy tomorrow instead of next week.
As always we are so grateful for your prayers. Hoping for good news tomorrow (or whenever we receive the results of the biopsy).
Love you all,
TJ
