That's right, another set back. Yesterday, they threw in another test to see if Jim's heart could withstand the high dose of chemo that is required. The test is called a MUGA. It's where they withdraw blood and then treat it with radioactive stuff and put it back in and then take pictures. Anyway, today the doctor called us and asked us to come in to find out that his test results were below normal. You need a 50 and he got a 42. They actually thought he may have had a heart attack that he apparently wasn't aware of. So, the doctor ordered an EKG and it showed that his heart wasn't pumping strongly enough. The results were'nt that bad really. But the doctor wants him to go to a cardiologist tomorrow for maybe a stress test.
One day at a time. The transplant is on hold until we get this straightened out. We pray for patience and will need strength.
I love you two, you are forever in my prayers and meditations!! Blessings of patience and strength!! Talk to you soon!!
