Hi MJ,
Thanks for replying and for your good wishes. The test I read about is at this site [url]http://www.labtestsonline.org.uk/understanding/analytes/tpmt/test.html[/url]
I just wondered if it is commonly done. I think we are going to have to head back to the hospital in the morning. My husband now has an area on his arm that is red, hot, and swelling and travelling up his arm. Looks like it was some how related to all the IV’s he had. Since he is so immuno-compromised this is going to get away from us since he is no longer on antibiotics. My gut told me that they cut him loose from the hospital too soon. This sure has been a weird Christmas. A can of soup and dry toast for him as his appetite is so poor. Keep your fingers crossed for him please.
