This morning, dad threw up and had some blood in the mixture. My mom called the dr. She said that is normal since dad is having radiation and that dad’s esophagus is really really raw and that it only takes a few drops of blood to make it really red.
Dr wanted us to keep an eye on dad’s temp and his blood pressure. She gave us the info on the numbers we should be concern about and go to the ER.
Throughout the day: His temperature, blood pressure and pulse have all been up and down. The highest fever he has had was over 101. His highest pulse rate was over 100 despite just sitting, resting and sleeping. The lowest blood pressure he has had today was: 88/48.
Mom just got done talking to the doctor again. Chemo dr wants him to go to the ER. Dr is concern that dad may have another infection. My brother is going to go down this time with my mom. I went with her during spring break when dad had to go to the ER then. It will be several hours before we know anything… we were down there over 8 hrs last time.
