Larry had his highest fever yet at 103.6 early this morning with another rigors attack.
He has now gone 24 hours without another rigors episode or fever spike. I hope this means that the antibiotics are working. We are praying that they are able to get the sepsis under control. Hoping to talk to his oncologist tomorrow morning. I want them to do a scan to determine if the bile duct is blocked and what has caused this sepsis.

Sepsis
Sadly Larry is struggling with high fevers and rigors attacks. His Dr. called me at midnight at the hospital. He explained that he believes Larry has a sepsis infection of the bile duct. They put him on 3 different IV's of very strong antibiotics. He has received 4 IV bags of sodium chloride today with little urine output.
I am staying at the hospital with him. They brought me a mini bed to sleep on. Again, no sleeping tonight.
