I won't be going home today.
Woke up with degraded oxygen in blood at 3am so we went through some investigation of that and hooked me up to the O2. That helped and also got me under the X-Ray and set up for a CT Scan. Three theories include: water collecting in lungs as a typical side effect of the Atgam, infection, bleeding near the lungs. Now it's later and I believe the CT Scan shows a leaning toward theory 1.
The hip was hurting as well and the doctor set me up for a MRI of the hip area. This turned into a 45 minute journey in the tube... wow. That was a long trip. It had a pretty cool TV goggles for entertainment.
The name of the game is to get me stable for a safe flight home.
Platelets were added, but I didn't get the count that was taken prior. They drew blood cultures too for an infection sampl
Oh, no! I had visions of you at home today. Definitely want you stable, though. Praying that you get to go home soon.
