CAR-T Blog # 5 September 2nd

Today is considered “Day 2”. Day 0 was infusion day.

His days line up with the dates on the calendar so it’s easy to track.

Tim is in good spirits. He got the okay from his doctor to go outside into the hospital’s courtyard this week only. He and Erin had catch out there yesterday since no one was around. Today we just sat and enjoyed the cooler weather. Unfortunately, when he got back to the room he was told that he had low magnesium, potassium, and electrolytes. He is now going to have a daily IV for 4 hours to help raise those low levels.  He does not like having to move about with the IV pole but at least it’s not all day.

The Phillies have been keeping him entertained at night and he is looking forward to this afternoon’s game.
