Overdue update

Good Morning:

Well, I was at Hopkins yesterday and I'm back again today. On Sunday I started showing symptoms of having a cold, primarily a miserable runny nose. I came to Hopkins yesterday and since my temperature was up they did cultures to determine if I had any of the particularly nasty viral infections (influenza, RSV). So far it looks like a mundane little cold that is having a field day in my body without white blood cells to impede it.

I woke up this AM with a fever and so I played good patient and let the nurses know. So, here I am, more cultures being run to rule out who-knows-what and a platelet transfusion in the offing.
