So, I just realized several major things have happened to dad that no one has posted here on the blog.
- Dad visiting MD Anderson hospitable:
- Dad went to MD Anderson ER due to having hard time breathing on May 27, 2014.
- After doing a variety of test, MD Anderson admitted him into the hospital due to fluids on the lungs, mainly his left lung.
- I must say, Dad’s room was like a VIP room… it was huge and very fancy and he was all by himself.
- On May 28th, MD Anderson drained his left lung and also put a drainage tube in his left lung so he can be drained from home.
- On May 29th, Dad was discharge Thursday afternoon from the hospital.
- On a side note, he was suppose to get more chemo on May 29th, but due to him being in the hospital, they actually post pone the treatment to the following week.
- Dad went to MD Anderson ER due to having hard time breathing on May 27, 2014.
- On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Friday, we drain fluild from his left lung at home.
- We will continue to do this producer until he stops dripping less than 150 ML per drain for a solid week. Once he does that, then we can call the doctor and see if the tube can come out.
- Dad’s new nickname is “Drano“.
- From June 1st – 4th, Dad accomplish something that he hasn’t done in awhile.
- For the first time in months and months, dad went to work every day and did not have to come home early! He was worn out but he did it!
- Remember, he works a 4/10 shift Sunday – Wednesday nights.
- On June 5th, Dad received his drip chemo from MD Anderson – Clear Lake . In addition, he took 5 chemo pill per day for a 7 days straight.
- On a side note, Dad is schedule to get another dose of chemo on June 19th and repeat the same process.
