Low on Fluids

Randy had a good couple of days last week. Friday and Saturday were his best in awhile. That all came to an abrupt halt on Sunday afternoon. We did make it to church Sunday morning and out to lunch with friends. Around 4:00PM the diarrhea began and really hasn't stopped yet. It is much better, but still is a problem. This morning, I called Dr. Ahmed's nurse to apprise
her of the situation. She forwarded the information to Dr. Ahmed. Long story, short, Randy ended up at the clinic for two bags of fluids. They also did blood work and his white count is low. Not a surprise, but something to watch. If his temperature climbs to 100.5 or higher, I will call the doctor. Hopefully, that won't happen, but it is a possibility.

He thought that McDonald's cheeseburger and fries sounded good. But after trying it decided that it wasn't so good after all. Everything tastes like metal from the Carboplatin. That will pass, but will take a little time. Until then, he is sucking on wintergreen mints to mask the metal taste.

Not much more to report. We are taking it a day at a time, waiting for improvement. We know that it will come in time.

Continue to pray for us.
