No Infection!

Mark met with the infectious disease doctor yesterday. The doctor just shook her head and said she didn't know why Dr. Zangari sent Mark in to see her. I guess that's good news. She did go over all his lab work and gave him an exam but did not see any infection that would concern her. Mark's rash is gone so the doctor figures it must have just been a reaction from the bandage that was covering his port.

Dianna and Shane did yard work over the weekend and Mark insisted on riding on the lawn mower for a bit. He also thought he could spray some weeds down but of course that wasn't a good idea. It still doesn't take much to make him sick but Dianna still has trouble keeping him from doing too much.

Mark's sweating episodes have slowed down quite a bit and he's gaining some energy back. He's still having trouble eating -- nothing sounds good to him and he just doesn't feel like it.

The next appointment is with Dr. Zangari on Wednesday and then hopefully he will be on maintenance until June (daily pill regimen plus weekly lab work). As a side note, one of those pills cost $5,000 per bottle. Thank God for insurance!
