Quick update

Good morning! Ben's not doing too well in the last 12 hours. He seems
to have an infection and is running temperatures of about 40C. His
blood pressure also dropped last night. The source of the infection is
not known (or perhaps it is lymphoma and not infection?) and he is on
antibiotics, antivirals and antifungals as well as blood and platelets
and numerous other concoctions. He also decided to use a GCSF again to
promote white blood cell production but it gave him excruciating bone
pain the last two times.
