We were feeling hopeful after seeing the doctor yesterday...the doc tweaked his meds and hopefully the talking in his sleep and nausea will be less...he was given a different stomach med other than prilosec called pantoprazole he's suppose to start that one this morning...he got a pain patch"fentanyl" good for three days and change out every three days to cut back on morphine pills that can cause the nausea and sleep talking...and a nausea pill called anzemet to see if it helps with the nausea and if does then he takes it along with sutent when he starts back on them on Dec 18th...he has taken sutent for 28 days and now he has to be off 14 days before he starts the second round of sutent...the blood tests are down from every week to once a month...and he goes back to see doctor on Jan 22nd...
I put the patch on him yesterday around 3pm and he cut back from 2 to 1 morphine pills that is timed released...but he's to taper back until the patch starts working...he said he wasn't in any pain this morning...and he wasn't going to take his morphine pill...just maybe the fast acting morphine pill...he didn't sleep talk but his snoring has picked up...some friends let us borrow their hospital bed...now he's able to raise his legs up if he wants but most definitely be able to sit up or lay flat if he wants...last night anyway he said it seemed to make a difference...thx for the use of the bed...even caught him laying on is side sleeping yesterday evening...not side of broken arm...
I get up this morning and he has been up for short bit and sweating like a dog ...no tempture tho...and throwing up...the only thing I can figure out is it's the sutent and not taking it for two days now...like how chemo can make you sick...after he's done he turns around and goes back to sleep...hasn't eaten yet, hasn't taken any morning meds, hasn't even drank any water, he doesn't even want me to call docs to verify that it is the sutent makin' him sick...might sneak a call into the special pharmacy that sends out the sutent by fedex to us and see what they say...
Needless to say, I cancelled my wound clinic appt. this morning and will see Mandi on Tuesday for sure...she has had me change my dressing out after Tuesday to see if it will help dry it up more instead of staying so boggy or wet...so far it looks good when and less wet when I've changed it out every day...we'll see how today looks later on...
Before I forget, on Monday he did get his own motor wheelchair...it's actually nicer in movebility and functions and a bit smaller and he can get into the bathroom with that one so the secretarial chair is now put away...
Shaun's dad is now in the hospital...went up early yesterday morning...the docs finally did an angiogram and he has the choice of going home to die or go to SLC for pacemaker...I gather he's a bit stubborn so hopefully his family convinced him cause Tam called this morning and said they were transporting Shaun's dad to SLC. So prayers are needed for his dad too...Tam has finals next week so pray she doesn't wipeout with everything that is going on...hint hint....future father-in-law....CORRECTION::::: just got a call from Shaun...his dad is going to SLC to see if he is a candidate for a artificial heart or heart transplant....
Well, I think that's all for now...so enjoy your TGIF day and hope you all have a B E A U T I F U L SUNN:D WKEND....
