Cold

Jimmy's recent bout with pneumonia was a setback, so when he started coming down with another cold last Thursday, we were discouraged, afraid that it might go into pneumonia again. His weak immune system's really struggling to fend off infections.

Preventive antibiotics were prescribed, and after being babied all weekend, he seems better. He has an appointment this week at the cancer center to get an infusion of gamma globulin to boost his immunity, at least temporarily. I'm also giving him B12 shots and other supplements. We feel like, with the advent of warm weather and the decline of all these colds going around, if we can just get him built back up, he should have a good summer. This winter was no fun.
