Randy is still in the hospital.  They did x-rays and were negative for any blockage in his bowels and intestines.  The blood work showed that his hemoglobin's were quite low, these are the red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout the body. So he had a blood transfusion today to help bump up the count.  They put in 1 pint and we'll see if he needs more.  His color looked better after that.  Not so gray, more pink in his cheeks!!

There was a mix up with the doctor's orders last night and so Randy did not have any food.  They were not entered into the system so the nurses were unable to give him any.  He was drinking clear fluids through out the day.  Chicken and beef broth, popsicles, juice and jello plus being hydrated with a saline IV.  Just that made him feel better.

They are working on finding the correct medicine to help with the "flow" in his gut.  Gave him a new medicine that coats the stomach to try and relieve the bloating.  Hoping that helps.

He is scheduled for a CT scan tomorrow.  They are going to see if the cancer has gone elsewhere and this could be why he is bloated.  Praying not. 

Not sure how long he will be in the hospital.  He is hoping sooner rather than later.  Misses being home for sure as the beds there are not comfy at all.  I hope I can bring him home tomorrow.......fingers crossed.

I will protect you until you die, and after your death I will still protect you. I am stronger than Depression and I am braver than Loneliness and nothing will ever exhaust me.”
