Woody will not be getting dose 13. His sodium bicarbonate level was off in his labs--so they are going to attempt to replenish it tonight through an IV drip then they will do more lab work in the morning to check to see if it is up enough so he can get one last dose for this go around at 6am.
I had a feeling after dose 12 that he might not be having #13 tonight. He had another rough time after the infusion. This time he slept through most of the rigors (quakes) because they had given him meds to lesson them which made him very sleepy. The rigors lasted over an hour--but he was unaware of most of them--so that made it better. He is sound asleep as I type this due to all the meds that they gave him this afternoon--so he should have a good night's sleep--till they awaken him to take labs, etc. very early in the morning
Everyone is still amazed that he has withstood as many infusions as he has. I'm looking forward to a better night's sleep than last--no fever, no shakes, just sleep hopefully!
