We were in midst of going to the Infusion Center for fill-ups because Mike had been having bad cramping and diarrhea. Even after two trips the the Center for fluid and potassium he got worse. At 2:30a Friday morning he was so bad he was disoriented and dehydrated. I knew I couldn't get him into the truck. I called Curtis and he came immediately. Curt picked him up like he was a small boy and carried him to his car. It was so tender, sad and loving.
They ran all the usual tests, blood cultures and chest x-rays. He had pneumonia again. Curtis stayed with me in the ER until it was time for him to go to work. Michelle came when she got to work. Marrit and kids came later that day and also Scott and Lindy. I was so happy to see them all. Thank heavans for my wonderful family. I don't know what I would do without them.
Mike responded really well to the antibiotics and breathing treatments. Dr. Gray said that he could come home tomorrow (Sunday). He needs one more round of antibiotics. The port-a-cath has been nice for that. Mike said he doesn't remember anything Thurday night or Friday morning. That is seriously ill. He is scheduled for chemo Wednesday November ninth. We both wonder about chemo. I'm sure every cancer patient does. Is it worth being so sick? A crystal ball would be helpful right now.
Love to all, thanks for all your prayers and thoughts. Mom
