Kevin still feels miserable. Beyond miserable.
Dr. Ling (radiation oncologist) agreed he was in rough shape this morning. She thinks it's some sort of flu or virus. I still think it's a intestinal blockage. He's too sick and it makes sense given the New Year's Eve problem.
She ordered blood work. They couldn't pull anthing from an arm vein, he is so dehydrated, so they accessed his port. We were all certain enough he would end up being admitted to the hospital that they left the port accessed and taped up.
He's lost 12 pounds since Thursday.
Lab work looked screwy so we spent the afternoon at the hospital lab for another round. They had him wait for results because Dr. Ling thought he would need treatment. Came back clear and they sent us home.
She prescribed suppositories for nausea since he can't hold anything down. And as laxatives because of the severe abdominal pain. The endless vomiting has stopped so he can at least lay down a little to rest.
He wants to give things a little more time. I want some answers now. So now I decide if I respect Kevin as a roadblock or drive around him.
