MUCH IMPROVED: Last night was a little rough. If you want to sleep don't go to the hospital. When they do the whole sepsis protocol precautions they are changing antibiotics and continually taking blood and vitals. He has no bacteria and haven't found anything that concerns them on the two chest x-rays they took yesterday and today.
He's feeling and looking much better today. His numbers are going up and Dr. Carroll thinks he may go home tomorrow as long as no cultures start to grow. His White Blood Cells have doubled which means we are going in the right direction. (Still quite low...) Dr. Carroll said the Neupogen shot they gave him a week ago is a long term deal. It should still be helping him. Unlike what I thought, they do not give two of them. You only get once per chemo treatment.
Dr. Nguyen, the Palliative doctor, came with Jodi, his nurse practitioner. They adjusted some of his pain meds and ordered a nebulizer mask. (I just called and told them we didn't receive it yet) They continue to pour antibiotics into him and he is taking his formula now through the pump while he watches politics and UFC.
I just got off the phone with Kjarstin and she is heading over to hang with us for a little bit and help Dad so mom can go home for a little while.
Thank you's
