Another Rigors Attack and Fever

UPDATE: As of 9am he told the Dr he wants to just come home.The Hospitalist Dr. signed his release papers. I of course want to speak to all the Dr's again as to what the next step is. Yet I'm not going to since Larry just wants to be at home

1am: After 30 hours of feeling better, no fevers and clean blood cultures, Larry had another rigors attack and 103 fever early this morning. This of course means the sepsis is not under control as they thought. They may now have to do another endoscopy to see if there is an abscess causing the infection. They may remove the port. They may have to go in and look closer at his heart. His stress level is over the top as is mine.

"Ok God, he needs a break here. Please guide the Doctors to the cause of infection so that he may resume his treatment. With this diagnosis of Pancreatic Cancer he knows his time is limited. He is just asking for another two years so that he can see his son settled and be up on stage as his daughter graduates from Loyola. Amen."
