It's been a huge week so far.
Rocky has had his bloods taken and sent back to Duke and hopefully we'll know within a couple of weeks how those T Cells are looking.
Rocky was admitted to hospital tonight at about 8.30pm as a precautionary measure. His sodium is very low and they are concerned about why/how he is losing it. And of course it will need replacing. Also his calcium has been on the low side for a week now and we found out tonight his haemoglobin is low too. He has been VERY VERY irritable for the last week or so and this could explain it a bit I think. Very low and very high sodium levels can cause seizures.
Firstly, the plan is to find out why he is losing the sodium. They repeated bloods tonight to ensure that the results were correct (they are), will take urine tests and then start to identify the cause and then treat it. He will be in there for a couple of days.
The good news is that he is in one of the special filtered rooms in oncology ward and they have him on reverse isolation (they wear gowns and masks to protect him from them) so he is in the best place in the hospital he could possibly be.
Okay, hope you are all well, we will feel a bit better when we know what’s going on.
