What a weekend

Earl was scheduled to have his last BIG chemo treatment on Friday, May 14th. Well to say the least that didn't happen and we had quite the scare. His blood pressure dropped to 60/30 and they did not even start chemo. We ended up spending the night in the hospital and they ran all sorts of tests on his heart. The tests all came back good and they determined that he was just really dehydrated and let us go home Saturday morning. By Saturday evening we were back at MUSC. Earl was having terrible pain. He ended up having to get two units of blood and lots of other meds. Potassium, magnesium and lots more fluids. He was running a fever and vomiting. They pumped his stomach and put him on a clear liquid diet. He was finally released yesterday about 5pm and we made it home. We are both exhausted and ready for some relief in this crazy cancer world. I can tell you that my friends are the best friends in the whole world. So many of you checked up on us and gave us so many prayers. We are gonna survive this, I do know that. We have an appt with on the 28th to find out what is gonna happen with the last treatment. We will keep you posted. Love you all. Donna
