The next battle

So Pete finished his fluids this morning and in theory has today and tomorrow with no treatment. He has been very sleepy all day but has managed to eat, all be it half what he usually eats. Dr came to see him this afternoon and told us his HB was low so he needs a transplant. A couple of bags were the words he used to the nurse. This I assume being the cause of his tiredness.

He was discharged 10 days after having his cells replaced & we have just had a fantastic week of being lazy, choosing new bedroom furniture & decor & a lovely day on the beach. Bless he even had an urge for a beer or 2 for the 1st time in months, so I took him to the pub for a few. Today we are back…
