Today was supposed to be Daves last chemotherapy, not so! The day did not start out well, around 8:30 am or so the hospital called to tell us not to show up at 10:00 am as they did not have a bed for him. So we just took it easy this morning and about noon I called to see if there was a bed for him, yay, there was. They told us to be there around 1:30 pm. So we get there and they check him in and his blood pressure is really low, they draw blood and start his IV to help bring his BP up. An hour later they come back and say sorry, no go today, come back next week. Dave will have to have his blood drawn again on Wednesday to be sure his white cell have come up enough to do the chemo. Dr. Koenig had Dave stay to do the one bag of sodium chloride to increase his blood pressure, it brought it up considerable.
Dave is feeling tired but pretty much in good spirits. He goes to see the ENT, Dr. Lutz on Monday, don't know if he will be able to do an exam (down the throat) or not. Dave eats soft food and drinks Ensure, so he is trying.
We were talking with his mom the other day about when he will be able to eat right again. He says he can't wait, as we are going out to the Outback to celebrate with a nice, juicy steak!!!!
God Bless everyone and thank you for listening. We love you all.
