Just a quick update for today. Ed had his CT scan today but we won't have any results until tomorrow when we see Dr. Menco late morning. We are really hoping and praying for good news about the efficacy of the chemo so far. There's also a possibility that the doctors might be able to see something about the small intestines as well to determine if they are beginning to heal and return to normal so that Ed can try eating again soon.
Those darned fevers were back most of the night - the highest was 101.9 - just under the 102 threshhold of comfort level for staying at home. The Tylenol continues to work to reduce the fevers, but we really have to get to the underlying source - hence our appointment in an hour with Dr. Mazur. Hopefully it will be something siomple to fix with maybe an additional or different antibiotic.
Thanks, Jeanne for the help with the blogging comments. I guess since the blog is set up thru Google, they want everyone to have a Google e-mail. Captive audience I guess.
I'll update later when we have some news. (We went to Do-It Center today and got a couple of super comfortable padded patio chairs for outside. Since Ed's so enjoying the sunshine, and we'll probably be home a lot more than we normally would be at this time of year....it seems like something that we'll enjoy a lot. Any of you who come to visit can try out the new chairs!......:)
Damn those fevers! Shake em quick Ed, and get well soon! Your peeps are prayin' for ya!

I hope the posting comments instructions helps someone that couldn't before. Trust me - it's easy. I may work on a computer all day for my job, but it doesn't make me computer literate! I have teenagers come over to my house when I need help!
ReplyDeleteEd, my thoughts and prayers are with you for good results on your CT, and I pray that your infection(s) be gotten under control so you can stop having those darn fevers! Jeanne
