Today Dave started having severe pain in his lower back. It got worse as the day went on. It was so bad around 7:30 tonight we brought him to the hospital. The gave him dilaudid and within minutes his pain was gone. It lasted for about and hour and a half and then the pain was back. They gave him more and now he is sleeping. The doctor thinks the pain is coming from the neulasta shot he got on Friday. I can't really explain it, but it has something to do with the shot and bone marrow. Friday was his 4th neulasta shot. She said it wears on your body just like the chemo. He is going to have an x ray and they are giving him phosphorus.....because it was low. I learn something new everyday. So the kids and I are in the waiting area....waiting! I have been going back and forth from the kids to Dave. Samuel just got his second wind so this could be a long night. Not crazy about the security in the waiting area.....that's another story!!! Have I mentioned lately how much I hate cancer? On the way to the hospital Dave was in alot of pain and Samuel was crying. He told me after we let Dave out at the ER that he didn't know why anybody invented cancer. So hard for little minds to understand....so hard for big minds to understand.
I'll update as soon as we know more. Hopefully he will get to go home tonight.
