David is having a really bad day today. He has a great deal of intestinal pain.
At noon a gastro surgeon came in to examine him. David stated that his pain level was a 10. The surgeon had an x-ray machine brought into his room to determine if he had any sort of perforation in his intestines. The results were okay. At 3:30 David was taken for a CAT scan, the results came back at 5:30 that there is an inflammation and a thickening of the wall of his small intestines so they are starting him on antibiotics just in case it's an infection.
The oncologist asked him not to eat anything tonight to give his intestines a break.
At 4:30 he woke up very nauseous and vomited.
The nurse came in to draw blood, once from his PICC line and again from his vein. They want to compare the results from two sources.
Thanks for your continued prayers and support.
