So after having they started the IV regimen-- had been getting it for around an hour --his blood pressure would not come down. Then he started having some chest pain and leg pain. So the nurse got right on it and call the team (all his daughters here on the stem cell floor) and they got an EKG and chest x-ray for him.
After that the cardiologist came and said she did not think it was a heart attack.. but she was going to
be sure and advise the team what meds he should be on for the blood pressure issue. Now poor thing
is having issues going to the bathroom so they will check for urinary tract infection and possibly call in an Urologist.
Sure wish I could help make this easier for Dan--he got really scared when he had the chest pains but
I assured him they were checking everything out and unfortunately these chemo regimens have really
bad side effects.
Well as I was typing this Dan now has the chills so they will take his temp again.. The fever and chills is a common side effect of the regimen he got this morning.
Keep the prayers a coming!
