Mike was put in the hospital on Tuesday, July 8th, when his fever spiked to 103.1. After doing blood work, it was discovered his blood count was down to 7.5 which should have been between 10 - 12. In addition, his white blood cell count was 3x's higher than it should be. His weight was down to 160 lbs as well. Mike was given 2 pints of blood to help bring his count back up and placed on antibiotics to fight any possible infections. Although an infection was never found and Mike thinks it was a waste of time being in the hospital, his blood count is normal again and he gained about 7 lbs. He looks much better! Mike was released Saturday evening, July 12th. He will be starting his third cycle of chemo on Monday. He is halfway through!
