Well first of all I am sorry it has taken a little bit to update the blog but as we knew Eric's effects from the chemo have hit today and not in a good way....He started the day out this morning throwing up in the bathroom, severe headaches, fever still 100.2 so they now have started him on additional antibiotics for the fever.
They are giving him pain medications through his IV for his headaches that within minutes put him into a deep sleep only to wake up within an hour to a severe headache again, so he has been pretty medicated through out the day. He is taking nausea meds Zofran but not holding back the sickness today, Eric has started to now not eat. He doesn't even like me to mention the names of food, gets sick just talking about it so we have stopped eating. The nurses say that they understand not eating but they need him to at least drink for his kidneys and liver, so I am trying to push fluids in him ( not succeeding very well at that though).
When visitors come to see Eric they have to wear a mask and gloves but I have not had to however the nurse just informed me that Eric is dropping with his counts fast and that I need to start wearing a mask and gloves at all times now in the room. They push here to have Eric get up at least 3 times a day and walk around the pod area for at least 10 minutes with his mask and gloves on, he was able to get up 2 times today due to how he felt. We will try for 3 times tomorrow! The surprise for the kids on the blog unfortunately will have to wait for tomorrow due to Eric not feeling well. The LDS missionaries came by and gave Eric a blessing today, that was nice. Hope tomorrow will be better....
