Blake was scheduled to have chemo this last Tuesday but couldn't since he was just released from the hospital! He got really, really sick the day after Christmas and was absolutely lethargic. When he said "we gotta go," off to the hospital we went. After a 6 hour stay in the ER, they admitted him. During his stay, they gave him 8 bags of fluid and he was able to get lots of rest. We're not really sure what the problem was; it could have been a delayed reaction to chemo, food poisening or the flu. Since nobody else got sick, they're blaming it on chemo. But, with Blakes weakened immune system, it could have been some kind of bug and the rest of us fought it off. He's scheduled to have chemo again on Tuesday and (hopefully) it won't happen again! We'll have to make sure he stays hydrated & on-top of his anti-nausea meds.... just in case.
We presented the appeal to SelectHealth on Thursday and hope they decide to allow the HIPEC procedure. We have a very good argument with a lot of information to back it up. I believe we have a pretty good chance in winning so.... keep your fingers crossed!
Blake continues to be very strong & positive and has an awesome attitude. I am in awe.
Hope all is well with you & yours. Love, Kathy
