After the Oncology appt Friday, we got home and my dad spiked a fever of 102.1-poor guy. Ended up in ER-all of his blood work fine-
They started oral Anitbiotics-and sent us home (per our requet)he is being admitted Monday for Chemo anyway.
Did any one else have transient fever spikes? It seems that when his pain control is bad-he shivers and spikes a temp. All of his labs are normal too-not dehydrated. He is most likely going for the PEG he has a question-are you able to at minimum rinse your mouth with the peg in?
We are hanging in there-at least he loves his water! Again, any additional tips great-he has a huge sore on his lip (amongst others) and it takes about 1 hour to get all of his pills in!
You are all my little angels-we thank you. :p
