Woody hasn't rebounded as we had hoped. His nurse just came in to draw more blood for labs. His creatinine level is rising rather than lowering. This is a test that measures kidney function.
He is still fighting nausea so he's not eating anything and drinking very little. He is also very hoarse due to extremely dry mouth that I guess is partially due to the treatments and partially due to lack of fluid intake.
He feels worse than lousy and that is probably an understatement! Again, they keep reminding us that this is the roughest treatment that they see up here--and we are in the cancer/chemo ward.
Pray that his creatinine levels start dropping. Pray that he didn't take one or two or...? too many treatments.
One of the doctor's may be by later after the latest lab results are back.
Wish that I had better news to share. I'm certainly glad that we are here rather than at home--even though I really wanted earlier to be heading home!
Hoping that this drama plays out to not be a problem as the one in the recovery room and the one the other morning. But a few extra prayers never hurt anyone!
