Third stay at the hospital since diagnosis. Had lots of petechiae and some gum bleeding. Was scheduled for rituximad but was admitted a day early due to symptoms. We live in NJ so would of never made it in tomorrow anyway because of the storm so he was given the rituximad today. Having some side effects which is always hard to watch him go through. I sure hope this works because so far nothing else has. He was admitted at a 3 which he seems to stay at.
