Dave Update- March 22, 2011

Hi family and friends, just a short update.  Dave is doing better than yesterday when he felt like he was dying.  Ends up, he really could have died if my mom didn't take him in when she did.  The doctor said if she waited much longer she would have been taking him via an ambulance to the emergency room due to kidney failure.  Thank you Lord for guiding my mom to the doctors.  Dave spend most of the day at the doctors yesterday and is there now getting IV fluids for dehydration and they are helping him with all his medications, including anti-nausea medicine.  He is feeling some bone pain due to the growth factor shots, which is to be expected.  They gave him morphine yesterday to calm him from the pain.  Today, he still isn't eating (probably fear of throwing it up).  I am thankful that Dave has a wonderful Oncologist that is taking care of him.  He stated that Dave has 7 times the norm amount of chemo than he gives his patients.  This is expected because the chemo is to completly demolish the cancer cells before collection.  What angers me is why the heck they released him after this amount of chemo.  They should have kept him in the hospital under observation for a couple of days.  Oh, let me at them..... !
