Today George finished up the 48 infusion, and his Port was de-accessed. His symptoms set in a bit quicker this time, and from day 1 he was feeling the side effects. The Doctor changed up one of his medications to help his stomach, and he received an extra dose of the Zofran during his infusion on Monday. So far the new med is helping, but he is just very tired and run down.
Tuesday Donna had a meeting at work that just couldn't be avoided, and we were grateful for all the help we received to get through the day. Carolyn D. came to the house with food in hand, and kept George company late morning. Rick and Diane V, and Kim H., came in the late afternoon so the "Nurses" could check on the pump and be sure George was eating and staying hydrated. What would we do without our own personal staff of nurses!! Thanks guys for all the help :)
Today has been a nice quiet day, and George was able to nap a bit in the afternoon. His stomach gives him issues on and off, and a few mouth sores have developed so he continues on the medications around the clock. He was glad to have the CADD pump removed, and we are hoping for a good nights sleep for a change.
