Chemo bag is still running. It has been a very rough night, with only about 30 mins of semi sleep at a time. Still no fever, but his body is in a battle. Hot and cold with violent shakes. The heartburn hurts from one end to the other as he says. Stomach cramps, thirsty, but if he even eats a piece of ice the acid floats up. The meds to help him relax just aren't doing the trick right now.
Dr. came in earlier this morning and they are mixing up a anti-acid with a pain killer for him to take. Hopefully that will sooth the heartburn to give him some longer sleep at a time.
Platelets are still low (17) so they are starting another bag of platelets around 9 a.m.
All through the night all he keeps talking about is how hungry he is for Mandola's ravioli and cheese pizza. We've talked about how I'm going to go over there at 10:45 to get his food and bring it over to the hospital in something to keep it hot, since it takes about 40 mins. to get over there and back. I keep telling him lets see how he feels once the heartburn stops.
Pray for some peace in his body, let his body just relax and not fight the shakes. Pray that we can get this heartburn feeling under control.
May today turn out to be a good day!
