What a Day!

We saw the Dr. this morning and found out Ray was dehydrated which may explain some of the fatigue. So in addition to receiving the chemo he was also given 4 hours of "hydration" in the outpatient unit. As good as his appetite has been, I was so surprised that he was dehydrated. I asked the Dr. if there was something we could have been doing to prevent this. He shook his head and said that this is just part of it. He also said sometimes drinking too much water can cause dehydration.

We were only home from the hospital about an hour, when Ray began having this agonizing pain in his bones. He thought it would get better, but of course it didn't-so about 7:00 this evening we called the Dr. and soon we were back in the hospital. To make a long story, short, he's been admitted---x-rays, blood cultures, I.V., etc., etc., are being done. You know this is the exact pain he had last October, which ended up being diagnosed as e-coli. We'll know for sure in a few days exactly what this is. Right now he resting comfortably, thanks to the morphine pump. Things will look better in the morning.

Love you all,
