Don came home last night because the doctors agreed that there was nothing more they could do for him there. He has no bacterial infection, he had two units of blood and won't receive anymore unless his blood tests on Friday say he needs one.
He came home a bit weak and disoriented because of his high fever. He continued to have chills, sweats and high fever throughout the night despite doses of Tylenol. The doctor of internal medicine said that what Don is suffering from is likely "tumor fever" -- his body is wanting to get rid of the cancer in his blood. He is obviously tired from the toll his body is taken and so has been sleeping quite a bit.
Rachel is keeping track of Don's fever spikes/drops as well as doing what she can to make him comfortable [though she's had to remove his blankets and apply ice packs a few times to keep his fever down, much to his chagrin!] Please be praying for Rachel's stamina and Don's healing.
