Not my title-that is what Larry is calling himself. Yes, he is still having rigors. Prior post was wrong. He had gone 12 hours not 24 without one. Just after I had posted that yesterday, he had another one. They are now giving him a shot of demerol as soon as it starts. It shortens the episode a bit but not the intensity.
Getting wonderful results talking to the oncologist on call. Still lots of problems with the hospital Dr on call. Glenbrook is not a teaching hospital(Evanston is) so there is not a Dr in the ward. Oncologist told me that there are 3 possibilites of site infections that would have caused the sepsis. The skin through the port. His liver/bile duct. His colon. They did a CT scan at 8pm last night.
I came home last night, have gotten 5hrs of sleep which is the longest amount in a while.
Hoping to talk to Larry's oncologist today and find out results of CT.
How is it even possible that just 5 months ago we were dealing with his sister, Nancy, having sepsis??
