Saturday Update

On Friday morning when Jon woke up he was short of breathe. I was concerned, called home care and the pain clinic. He had an appt scheduled at 11:45 for his hepatic pump to be flushed at the oncology office. The oncologist went over to see Jon at this time. She was very concerned about his breathing. The nurse could not flush his pump, because he couldn't breathe well when lying flat. The oncologist wanted Jon to go to the ER for a chest x-ray to see what was gong on. His lungs on his left side were a concern to the MD too. Jon called me, I spoke with the nurse, but he was adimant the he was NOT going to go to the ER. Against everyone's advice he came home. The doctor did decrease the amount of fluid he gets overnight in half. The thought is that he is retaining fluid and it is effecting his lungs and breathing. As of today, he still is short of breathe with activity. His feet were slightly puffy today too. I celebrated mother's day with Campbell, my mom and grandmother today and he stayed home. It was so nice, Jon actually sat outside on the front porch for about 4hrs.
