back to the Hospital we GO!!!!! Feb. 11, 2014

Well we made it 11 days without having to go the HCH.  They have been days filled with Ron not feeling so good.  So this morning he woke and was really dragging and feeling "crappy" as he would say.  We took his blood pressure and it was really low.  He has high BP and the meds that he takes for the cancer cause hight BP as well.  So we couldn't understand why it would be low.   So a phone call was made and off to the acute care at huntsman we went.

Labs are always the first done when we get there.  Most of them came back at normal or just above normal levels for the things that they are concerned about, which is a good thing.  He was slightly dehydrated and so they gave him 2 litters of fluids.  That alone made him feel much better.  They took lots of other labs that will be getting results for over the next few days.

We hadn't even been in the hospital room for 10 min. and Ron's doctor, Dr. Agerwal came in to see him.  We couldn't believe it! He is such a great man, as well as a doctor.  He said they told me you were here and I wanted you to know that I'm on you case and will be informed as to all that is going on, and will get to the bottom of the problem.  He explained all the test (labs) and said that he would be doing some extra ones that will take some time for results but that he was not going to give up on Ron.  That was the blessing of the day!!! Not to mention the fact that the pharmacist who is helping with Ron's INR also "stopped by" to check on Ron and had his INR test while we were there as well, so he doesn't have to have that done tomorrow.  And one of the nurses there today was my friend Shauna, lots of small little blessings but they sure made the day go by so much better!!!  Always seeing that the Lord is so aware of what is going on in our lives and looking out for us. So what to do now….

We are home.  Ron is feeling better after receiving the fluids.  He has scans next week.  They will be very telling!!!!! My theory that I shared with the doc today is this… The meds that he is taking for the cancer are working and the side effects from them are causing him to feel so dragged down and not have much energy.  OR  The meds are not working and the cancer is causing it.  I like the first theory the best!!! Either way we will have more knowledge of what is going on next Thursday when we have the results from the CT scan.  The doctor even said that my theories makes sense but I guess we shall see.

So that is where we are at…. Valentines Day is Friday and I plan of spending it with Ron and having a fabulous day!!! And I hope you all have a fabulous day as well. Prayers are so welcome for this upcoming week of scans.  It is a scary and anxious time, but we know that the Lord has the greater plan and we will work towards doing what his will is!!!

                                                                FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT

Happy Valentines Day! From these three most darling girls!!!
