What a long day



We had a long day due to needing platelets. They were down 15. While we were getting platelets we noticed some swelling in his right side of his face. His lip was fat. There were no rashes so the nurse sent us back to Patel' office. We waited and waited. They said Patel was at the hospital. They finally called him after he hadn't shown up. He wasn't planning on coming back right away so Patsy described over the phone the swellings and Patel said he already knew about it. He said even the lip. I think he is confused because the lip wasn't like that. Yeah there is still swelling on Austin's temple which we know is the tumor. He did mention that this morning. It seems to be coming down. So I think it either had to do with the platelets or the steroid. I am no doctor though. So we didn't get home to after 3:00. So we are pretty worn out. We left the house at 8:30 this morning. We go back Friday and hope his platelets have stabilized. We will see.
