Just as we feared, we had to make a run for the ER early this morning. Ray was up a couple times during the night, and then around 4:00 a.m. all the nasty (fainting, vomiting, etc.) stuff started. Hydration began immediately in the ER, and then after a couple hours he was admitted and back on the 6th floor. A "No Visitors" sign has been put on his door, due to him being so fragile right now and at risk for catching something. He's very weak and has spent most of the day sleeping, only waking for a short time while vital sign are being taken.
It's scary how quickly things can change for him. Yesterday was a good day for him all the way up to bedtime. There was no indication whatsoever as to what was coming in just a few short hours. The best as anyone can tell, this is "fallout" from the last round of chemo. However, his immune system is so compromised at this point, tests and cultures are being done in case there's an infection of some sort. Of course he's already on an array of antibiotics, just in case.
More later, as I plan to be back to the hospital early in the morning.
Love you all,
Kim
