John got his hickman put in this morning they were able to get it in on his left side as he requested. They will be keeping him on most of the antibiotics to hopefully stop any infection that tries to pop up. In the meantime, we pray that this one does not get infected. He is extremely tired still sleeping throughout the day and the night. They are now checking his blood sugar before meals since the steroids have increased the sugar in his blood; he did need a shot of insulin this afternoon. The skin is still getting better his face is looking much better it's mostly his legs that have a lot of blisters and open areas on them. His counts really aren't moving up. They are kind of at a stand still. He still requires platelet transfusions every morning.
We got some bad news this morning that the second baby no longer has a heartbeat. I will be having a D&C Monday morning. This is, as many of you know, our fourth pregnancy. We are both taking this very hard. This wasn't supposed to happen this time. John was very upset to hear this news as he was getting his hickman when my Mom and I were at my ultrasound.
Please continue to keep John in your thoughts and prayers.
