It’s been a few days, but he was pretty much the same for almost a week. Yesterday he finally turned a corner 🙏. His kidneys started working (not at 100%, but working). They took him off of the bags of fluid and saline, took away the potassium and magnesium, all that’s left is the TPN, that’s the nutrition going through an IV. They gave him some prednisone and that did help his legs, but they are still swollen and the joints in his knees and ankles are killing him. The prednisone causes his blood sugar to be out of whack so they give him insulin…that should straighten itself out. He can come home Wednesday or Thursday, but he has to be 100% self sufficient, that means he has to walk. Physical Therapy is coming in to work with him, he has great upper body strength, but this chemo screwed up his legs. He is using a walker, but can still only take a few steps…hopefully that changes tomorrow or Thursday. They have to stop this regimen of chemo. He has some genetic markers that made his body reject it, and they have been working hard to get it out of his body, as of today there is still .4 of the methotrexate in his system. We don’t know if it did any damage, we won’t know if it did for a little while. Sooo, things are moving forward and he is okay. He is very tired of being there and staring at those 4 walls. I get it, he is a person always on the go, so being in the same place for 3 1/2 weeks has made him cranky….I mean really cranky. Once he gets home we will go to clinic and talk to the doctors about what the next step is, but it will be nice being home for awhile 😇
