Dad W/ Mds Started Immune Gammagloblin

My dad is 71 yrs old. In june 09 he was diagnosis with chemically induced MDS from having chemo and radiation treatment from stage 4 tonge cancer. In 02 he survived a triple A rupture,bowl resectioning, and his gull blatter was removed. He lost his spline in 90. We tried the revlimid for MDS, but he suffered a silent heart attack. They put a stent in his heart in sept 09. Went on vidaza but ended up in the hospital twice from it. He's now recieving platelets every 6 hours and red blood every twelve to twenty four hours. His last platelet count is at three. They gave him 1 dose of retuxin and he got alot worse. As in bleeding from the lungs, stomach and just basically down hill. He now is recieving immune gammaglobbin every 12 hours, and aminocaproic acid drip for 24 hours. Also on limnezodid premix every 12 hours. He also has lost his appetite and cannot eat, so therefore they are giving him albumin human drip, regular doses of magnesium, pottasium and other nutritions.

WE ARE DESPERATE FOR HELP!!!! ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Thank you to anyone and everyone who has posted. This site has gaven us faith and hope. GOD BLESS
