Fever

I got sick Sunday evening, with 39.6C fever. They are giving me special broad spectrum antibiotics every six hours; these are antibiotics that are reserved for patients with no viable immune system. As you have probably heard or read, more and more bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics due to their overuse. Since I have no immune system, I am completely dependant on antibiotics to fight bacterial infections. Which is why no chances are taken and the most potent antibiotic is used.
I was quite sick yesterday (Monday), with fever spiking to 40C. Also, my blood results showed that I was even deeper in the dip than before the weekend. They gave me extra platelets and a blood transfusion for red blood cells. Hopefully, the numbers rise soon; I could use a functioning immune system.
Today I am feeling a bit better; I hope that this continues.

Hey Bram!! Ik hoorde het al van Adrienne!!! Ik hoop dat het snel weer wat beter met je gaat!! Heel veel sterkte!!

Hopelijk morgen weer een beetje beter!

🙁 sterkte, Bram! Ik hoop dat de antibiotica zijn werk doet en dat je je snel weer beter voelt.

“Geçmiş olsun!” betekent ‘beterschap’ in het Turks maar wanneer je het letterlijk zou vertalen staat er: “Laat het in het verleden”. Dus Bram hopelijk ben je snel weer beter en kunnen we je koorts achter je laten ?

Drücken dir alle Daumen, dass es bald wieder aufwärts geht.
