SUNDAY QUICKIE

Ok. I am home and on my way to church. I only have a minute.
The doctors are more than likely going to transfer Gary to the ICU this morning.
He had a 103 fever yesterday and by last night his core temp was only 93.1. His heart rate dropped significantly to around 50 BPM and his blood pressure is all over the place.
He is totally coherent and even joking with me about the nurses kissing him. He is in good spirits and I am not too worried but just a little given the docs can't figure out yet what's going on with him.
He did have chemo yesterday and could this all be a reaction to the drugs? Possibly. However, precautions need to be taken and it might be better if they can monitor him more closely.
I will update you when I get a chance but wanted to let all of you know where we stood.
BTW - maggots therapy was extremely successful. His wound is 80% cleaner! I will write more about that later.
Love to all,
Lisa
