Woody's fifth dose of this regimen got underway a little after 10pm and the dextrose solution that flushes the line just finished. Wonder what the night has in store for us?!
Woody definitely got to feeling better as the afternoon progressed--once his fever and nausea left. He has even watched TV this evening--the first time that the TV has been on this go round. I think that his decision to skip the prior infusion was for the best for him.
In the lab work that was done a little before 8pm his creatinine level had risen a little more--just a fraction but still it rose a bit more. I sat this afternoon and looked at all the lab reports from the prior visit up to this visit. It took 7 infusions the last time to get his creatinine level to the same point that it took 4 infusions this time. Since this is a different team of doctors, I think that we have to keep an eye on things since they may not "get" the whole picture! Personally I'm not as impressed with this team of doctors as I was with our first team.
I'll let you know in the morning how this infusion and the hours following it go. Hope that it is a dull story to tell!
