Brian got dismissed yesterday afternoon from the hospital in Scottsbluff and we traveled home. He became very ill with increased pain and low grade temperature later that evening. I took him to the ER in Alliance after calling the surgeon on call in Scottsbluff. He had another Cat Scan to see if he had a twisted bowel, plus more blood work. All the tests turned out negative thankfully. They think he a had a bad reaction to the pain medication Vicodin that he was started on prior to leaving Scottsbluff. Plus, his digestive track was slowed by all Morphine and anesthetic he had in hospital after surgery. We returned home. This morning he felt very nauseated and finally vomited his lunch yesterday. I will start him back on clear liquids.
He is to start chemo and radiation on Monday. He will have cycles of radiation: 2 weeks for 5 days then 2 weeks off until 28 sessions are done. He is also going to have chemo 1 week with 3 hours one day then pump at home for 96 hours. This will cycle every 4 weeks for 4 cycles. I will know more how it will all turn out after he gets going on Monday.
Thanks everyone for your prayers and support!
Mary
