Dan has developed the mucositis which is a very painful mouth and throat and actually can go down into the stomach inflammation which we have to try and keep under control so it doesn't cause infection.
He could not eat hardly anything for dinner--he is having trouble swallowing also. So they tried one pain medication and that didn't help so they are looking at one that is IV-- bless his heart.
This could last up to 3 weeks... hopefully for Dan it will not. But they told us it will get worst before it gets better.
So say a little extra prayer for him this evening.
Well we certainly hate to hear of this latest development. Would be better if some of these negative possibilities did not become realities. As you say, just another hurdle on the way to victory!
ReplyDeleteMary reminds me she had that. Hates that Dan has it. Also said cold and soft food worked best, ( watermelon, ice cream etc..)
ReplyDeleteHope it doesn't last long. Bet he might like some ice cream.
