Hi, we are home and he got his chemo. We got there at 8:30 am and left at 6:30pm, very long day! We really thought his counts would be low but they were good, his AnC was 1400! He was not a happy camper. He didn't feel well and the thought of getting stuff that made him feel worse. He did ok though and he slept alot. He has to be pre-hydrated for this med (cytoxin) the problem was he was sooo dehydrated they kept dumping fluids in him and he was not peeing at all, they went ahead and gave him the other 2 drugs and kept hydrating him for the cytoxin. It was 2pm and he still had not gotten enough fluids to start so the Dr. decide to go ahead and start the cytoxin because these drugs need to be given the same day. He finally became hydrated halfway through the post-hydration of the cytoxin! This drug runs for an hour and must be flushed out with 3 hours of post hydration! So we left about 6:30 pm. Poor nurse Susanne had to hang out with us! Now the task is to keep him drinking because if the cytoxin sits in his bladder it can damage it. So that's where things are as of now. Ok, I gotta go calculate how many weight watcher points I ate today because I forgot to count them!!!!! oops
Love Jed and Kristin
