AML: Day + 5

Well it was a long day at the hospital today. It started off with Jon's daily appointment at 9:30 a.m. The doctor decided Jon needed a bag of IV fluid to keep him hydrated, when that was almost over we found out Jon's hemoglobin was low so he got a bag of hemoglobin which took about an hour and a half and then we found out Jon's magnesium was also low. So Jon got a very slow drip of magnesium which took 4 hours. We were at the hospital from 9:20 this morning until 6:40 tonight. So it was a VERY long day.
Jon's counts have bottomed out which they were supposed to, which means he's feeling very tired, and very weak. On top of that, he has mouth sores and a sore in his throat. So he doesn't feel like eating, but he has to and his tastes are off, so that makes it worse. Plus he is still nauseous too.
Not a great day today. Wish I could say that tomorrow will be better, I'm praying it is.
