Bad Night....

Eric had a really bad night and morning, worst time yet! He is in extreme stomach pain, they had to double the dose and now have him on constant morphine. The pain is unreal, I have never seen someone in that much pain and suffering- it's so heartbreaking. Very hard to watch! He has what they called Nader out- he is at complete 0.00 he has no immune system at all!

They have placed him on higher isolation and watch now, we have to wear complete head to toe protection. Gowns, gloves and mask at all times in his room. He was having such a good day yesterday until about 9pm he started getting his cough really bad, then all of the sudden extreme vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain that he was in tears about. He kept telling the nurses and doctors the stomach pain is so bad, he has never felt it like this. He describes as someone pouring bleach/ acid in your stomach and punching you over and over again in the gut. The doctors said it's cause his stomach lining is being sluft off, it's coming all off -the lining of his stomach and the etreme pain is from that and the rawness.

The doctors and nurses say that the chemo is taking more effects in him, that this pain will continue for weeks and get worse before it gets better so they are placing him on constant morphine drip. He finally stopped throwing up, diarrhea, pain around 3:15am this morning.Fever has been spiked and continues to hold at 103.4 They are concerned about additional infections, they are running additional tests. Eric has developed a rash all over his body and head, they are also concerned that this is a fungal infection. They have placed his last day today of chemo on hold until they can get the results from the labs on the blood tests and cultures.

I am so scared about everything going on all the sudden there is so much starting to go wrong. My prayers are pleading with the Lord to get us through this, to get to the transplant tomorrow. I have never seen anyone in so much pain, it is hard to watch and not be able to do anything. I feel as if I am watching them torture Eric and its heart wrenching. I wish I could take this away from him, I pray he will get some kind of break or comfort. I do not know how anyone gets through this! We are waiting for the doctors to come in, I will keep everyone posted. Please, please continue to pray for Eric, he needs all the prayers he can get.
