We spent more than 8 hours in the cancer ER tonight. Had to wait a while and then they called him back and put him in a bed. However, he was in the hall. Then he finally was able to get a room. They did blood test and culture on blood to see if there is an infection, chest xray, urine test and dr had to look at him. Early in the day, Chemo Dr in clear lake did not like the fact he had a 101.5 last weekend, 100.5 on Monday and a 100.8 today. This is why they sent us Down to main MD Anderson er.
Plus, dad is really flushed, nausea and fatigued. Rather be safe than sorry. Blood test on white blood count OK. They r going to do a culture on it but it will take a couple days for results. Urine test OK. Dr said she did hear a little whizzing in lungs which is why she ordered x ray. his oxygen level was a little low. After looking at xray, dr is sending us home w antibiotics. Possible beginning of pneumonia.
Just got home a few minutes ago… now heading to bed.
