Saturday,November 10th

The lumbar puncture showed no infection,so that is good,but we still don't know what is causing all Stan's problems. The doctor did say that he may have the equivalent of a cold,but for Stan--it makes him very sick and weak. This seems to show true in that his electrolytes are all off and his red blood count was low too. He will most likely be in the hospital for another weak until all the bloodwork levels out a little and then we will see where he is mentally and physically at that time.
He HAS been more alert the past 2 days when he is awake.He went for occupational therapy yesterday.
His GVHD is back a little too---he has had an upset stomach and a little rash--the Dr is on that right away.
Stan DOES enjoy visitors for short periods of time--he recognizes everyone and can hold a little conversation--he just gets tired quickly.(he is in Albany Med,room D-470.
