What's my Temp?
This image is a frequent one around the Karrels household. Dan is a big fan of checking his temprature every couple hours. If it goes above 100 he is supposed to call the nurses or go to the ER. This monday Dan had his weekly Bleomycin treatment. This is a pretty quick trip to the hospital. Because of last week's ER trip they sent off a CBC to see if he is still neutrapenic (see lab link on the left). Luckly he isn't anymore so he is cleared to go back to work for a couple hours each day this week. On Monday's he is supposed to take Tylenol every 4 hours for 24hours. We did this last Monday but forgot this monday. So when Dan's temp spiked to 101.3 he got worried. The nurses just said it was a side effect of the weekly Bleomycin and to take his Tylenol. His temp went quickly back to normal. Crisis averted! The rest of the week should be uneventful (hopefully!). This Saturday Heather, Cole and Sharon will be coming to Dayton to visit us and I know we both look forward to seeing them all. Heather and I will be running 5 miles in the freezing cold and then we will all grab lunch before they head back to Columbus.
