ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER

Gee, where do I start. It's been a pretty hectic day. First change is no chemo tomorrow as planned. Dave has developed some shortness of breath so a pulmonologist has now joined the team. He's a great guy and we feel comfortable with his care. He ordered a CT scan of Dave's lungs and it showed some aspiration "gunk" and also some upper lobe pneumonia. Tomorrow morning Dave will have a bronchoscopy so we can get an idea of the most appropriate antibiotic to treat it. He is already on a few different ones, but not sure they are the right ones for this infection. As the doc said, we are not alarmed at this point. Consequently, the chemo won't start until Monday if his blood work is stable. I had planned on getting on the train Sun. night and coming home for a few days to work and gather up by taxes, but I guess that's not going to happen. I want to be here when they give him the "big guns". I guess I'll just have to ask for an extension on the taxes.

We are really in good hands here and Dave is keeping the nurses entertained with his quirky sense of humor and quick wit. He's also made friends with all the cleaning ladies too whether they speak English or not. What a guy - gotta love him!
