Every twenty-four hours makes an exponential difference.  They gave him another unit of blood (his fifth for the admission) and his heart rate finally came down to 113!  We were so thankful.  Dr. Healey stopped by and said he feels certain the fever spikes are related to blood loss, not infection.  Typically your body could recover over time, but because he&#8217;s getting chemo again soon he has a very low threshold for transfusing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"http:\/\/www.michellebeachy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/day-3.4-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.michellebeachy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/day-3.4-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.michellebeachy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/day-3.4-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.michellebeachy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/day-3.4-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.michellebeachy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/day-3.4.jpg 1365w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;ve ever wondered what you can do to support cancer patients, donate blood if you can.
