It's not Good/But it's not Bad Either

They will keep observing his arm to see how it progresses. The bruising has now spread to his hand and fingers, it seems to be getting worse everyday (in that respect). The swelling has come down a little and they have restarted an anti-fungal medication. They don't think that this "inflamation" was caused by the IV blowing, they think it's from the infection that he had in his blood. But they can't be certain. Spencers blood pressure continues to rise and this is concerning the doctors so they are monitering him closely. His right leg is also swelling and he is complaining of pain. They did another ultra sound today, but this time they were checking the blood flow in his legs and making sure that there were no clots. He has also developed a rash on both of his knees, Spencers nurse and I noticed this tonight, so I have no idea what the doctor has said about this. His counts continue to go up and he continues to fight. We just need to take it one day at a time and see how things progress.
