Dad started the day out feeling pretty good, but by 1:00 pm was down and out with fever, chills, the shakes and a little delirium. He was running a good temp and his blood pressure was up to 180/80. His WBCs were down to .9 from 10 yesterday!
They are pretty sure he's fighting some kind of infection. He's on antibiotics and everything else.
I am hoping Mom reports later tonight that the rest of the day went better than the afternoon.
Fevers are always a worry, but Dad has run a low grade one everytime he's had chemo. This one is a little concerning because it is higher, but I'm hoping it's just par for the course.
Keep checking in on us! : )
