    Yesterday was a horrible day. In the morning, he almost passed out in the doc office. The doc called 911 immeditally. The nurse rushed in and put Oxygen mask. 20 mins later ambulance took us to nearby ER. His temperature was 105. The nurse gave him some Mortrin and put some icebags around him. In the afternoon, his temperature came down to 99-98. But in the evening it raised to 102-104 again. Frank had CAT scan and blood test done yesterday afternoon. Also they removed the old pickline and put a brand new one in. Since the infectious doc thought the pick line was the source of the first infection.

    Today he still has high temperatures. And the docs still can not find out why. His neck started to swelling. Hope god can help him.

    Hey all,

    Thanks for your information and support. Frank is still in hospital with high fever. He had red blood transfusion yesterday. Doctor gave him antibiotics and NEUPROGEN to boost his wbc. Now his wbc is back to 1.5. And they did find one kind of virus in his blood. They are still checking to see if there is any other virus.

    Thanks again

    Helen
