ER my patootie, no rushing zone apparently.

GRR, blogspot ate my blog. So we went to the Er last night. Jason was having chest pains and chronic diarrhea for about a week. (Ill bet he loves me announcing that). To make a long story short we waited 6 hours for a bed, 3 more for a doctor and were released today at 11 am. They drew a cardiac panel and it came back negative for a heart attack, they did an ekg which was also negative. Apparently the Bleomycin can cause some pain. The diarrhea subsided by the time they gave him a room. Having nothing in your stomach since 1 pm can do that I suppose. However they did discharge him with a perscription for when it returns with the next treatment. Overall it was a pretty rotten experience and I will be emailing the patient adovacacy department. He came home crashed, ate, crashed, showered, crashed. He is pretty tired right not his white cells are low. Normal range is 4.0-9.0 he is around 1.9 as of last night. We knew this was going to happen so we will just up our hand washing and such. He is in good spirits and converses and plays with Roo when he can. His hair is starting to fall out so we will have a head shaving party tomorrow. Ill post pics if he agrees. Well we go to the dr. on friday so there will probably be another update then. Thanks for the prayers, and think high thoughts about white cells, but not too high cause that would be a totally different problem. Good night all.
