Still in Hospital - Lorin

Written by LeAnn:
The blood and platelets didn't get here until after 7:00 last night but Lorin still wanted to go home when they were finished even though it would be late. Craig and I were fine with waiting if that meant he could all be finally at home together once again. They got started with the transfusion and Craig and I packed his room and took everything down to the car, then tried to get a little shut eye while we waited. He was finished around 1:00 am but when she took his vitals one last time he had spiked a fever. Knowing we wanted to go home she took his temp several times with different thermometers to make sure it was correct, which it was. Needless to say he was not able to come home so I sent Craig home to get a little sleep before going to work.
We thought we would be coming home this morning but after taking blood, his white count was way too low and they said it is to dangerous, so he couldn't go home today. I can't tell you how disappointed he is, it breaks my heart to see the sorrow of once again missing out on a game and "Halloween" (the one thing that he has looked forward to since he came in this time). I'm not sure where all the tears are coming from but I definitely should have lost some weight by now, maybe even anorexic!!!!! If his counts go up by tomorrow then he will possibly be able to go home then, but we're not counting on it. Bulldogs Lorin is rooting for you and wishes you all the best tonight. Give the other team a scary finish and have a Happy Halloween!
