Dad finally slept most of the day. When the Dr.'s came in, MD and Oncologist the nurses called Gregg as dad was sleeping. The oncologist said that what is happening may not be a result of the chemo because chemo is very predictable and what has happened to dad are not typical side effects of chemo so late after the treatments. He is not going to continue chemo on dad for a few weeks and hopes dad gets stronger. When dad chemo starts up again he will begin a different drug, not the taxatere. The new drug will be navelbine. He is still on an antibiotic, getting magnesium, and fluids. He is very weak and very labored in his breathing. The top 1/3 of his lungs are what he is breathing with. He is no longer in critical care he is on the 3rd floor room 314 at Mecosta County Medical Center. Dr. VanDe Mark his MD said he may not pull out of this. He is not eating much at all. He is 11 pounds up on his weight but it is all due to the fluids being pumped into him. He needs to get his drive back to get stronger, he needs to eat. Keep him in your prayers, Mom too!
Blessings, Michelle
