David woke me up at 1am this morning and said he was sweating. His tshirt was soaked around the neck. I took his temp and it was 101.5. He took some Tylenol and went back to sleep. I stayed awake for an hour, so I could take it again to be sure it was coming down. At 2am, it was 98 on the nose. I realized I had forgot about setting the clocks back, so I was momentarily confused as to what time it was exactly. This morning around 8, his temp was 97.9 and it has stayed low while he napped off and on watching the Falcons. Around the time the game ended today, he told me he was starting to feel chilly and his temp was 103. Sigh. He took Tylenol at 4 and I just checked and it has come down to 101. He has not been confused, and I have been making him talk to me which is irritating him pretty good. I keep saying talk to me in sentences, so he is doing that as I am making these notes. He is pretty happy about the Cowboys defeat this afternoon. He says he has some uneasy stomach pain. He is able to urinate well. Doesn’t know what he feels like for dinner. He just said he seems to be doing pretty well making sentences and can he stop now? The hospital was to call if the cultures grew anything, and we haven’t heard from them today. It has been over 24 hours since we were there. We will be glad to know there is no sepsis but, also, now what? The oncologist’s office called Friday and rescheduled his appointment this week from Wednesday to Friday. A bit aggravating when you have this going on. I will definitely have questions on Friday.
As of 5:16, temp is 100.3 so hopefully it keeps coming down.
