CAR- T Blog #7, September 7th
Day 7 was projected to be the day any side effects would occur. It started out uneventful until 3:45 pm when Tim spiked a fever and had a few other side effects. The medical team took quick action which was greatly appreciated. Long story short, they gave him Tylenol, IV antibiotics, and anti inflammatory medications. The fever is currently under control and other tests were done with results pending. He already feels better. They will keep a close eye on him tonight. His blood counts are all plummeting, as expected, so his risk of infection and the ability to fight it off is compromised. They continue to test his mental acuity since neurotoxicity is possible.
Keep those prayers coming.
