Another Day Of Ups And Downs...

John had a very rough day. He has another fever his heart has gone back into atrial fibrillation and he is vomiting. He had started out the day with a brand new nurse so when my Dad and I got there I couldn't take it and I went to the supervisor and said he needs someone with experience. He requires too much care to have a new nurse. So that was taken care of. We were just not feeling confident in what this floor was doing for him. So I went down to the oncology floor to see what needed to be done to get him back there. They had a room for him but by the time I got back upstairs his blood pressure had dropped and heart rate had increased. It is better for him to keep being monitored on the floor he is on now because the oncology floor does not have all the monitors and IV meds to control his heart. They had gotten him stabilized when we left and he is just so exhausted.

He has been through so much since Thursday night. He says he feels okay just really tired. He can barely keep his eyes open. Hopefully they can get this figured out and taken care of soon. He has 110 white blood cells floating around his body now so they are loading him up on a number of antibiotics to cover anything that tries to pop up and complicate things even more. Hopefully he will sleep through the night with no problems and see what tomorrow brings.
