Temps still a problem
For the most part of the day Kal has been feeling good despite his temperature still being a bit on the high side.He was in the high 37's most of the morning and then had a few 38's in succession which prompted more blood cultures and possibly further delays in chemo.As the night went on Kal started to gradually feel worse and to make matters worse his blood pressure dropped.The doctor on duty gave him a heap of fluids in a short space of time and that seemed to improve things slightly.It's now at an acceptable level but unfortunately for Kal it means that he'll have his blood pressure taken every hour overnight.So he can expect a unsettled nights sleep but the nurse on duty can also expect some not too pleasant responses when she goes to wake him.When i spoke to his doctor this morning she told me that his chemo would probably be on Wednesday at earliest but that was before his latest temperature spike so who knows what the plans are now.All we can do is just take things as they are and hope that things turn around soon.
