Got here to be with Don fairly early this morning. He was scheduled for a colonoscopy and wasn’t sure what time they were planning on coming to get him. Could be earlier in the day or later. We were given a time of 2:45 p.m. As was expected he was up all night again going to the bathroom – which has been his norm now for over a week but add the yucky prep stuff for colonoscopy to the equation and he went even more frequent :(.
Colonoscopy scheduled for 1:45 (they called and said they could do it earlier) – this is hour earlier than they had told us last night. Before being taken down his temperature was up to 102.6. They gave him Tylenol immediately. Still haven’t figured out what is causing his on again off again high temperatures. The nurse also took blood work prior to him being taken down for procedure.
Had the procedure done around 3:12ish p.m. (so NOT sure where 1:45 came from). We got back to 5B around 5:30ish. Don was able to eat a few bites of jello and some chicken noodle soup. Few trips to the bathroom but has calmed down some for now but not sure how long that will last. *sighs*
Dr. Borrello, Myeloma Specialist, is going to stop by tomorrow – we have questions and hopefully will get some answers.
The preliminary results of the colonoscopy are negative. They did take a biopsy and was told it could take 3-7 days for results. Not sure if this means Don will have to stay HERE next 3-7 days? Guess we’ll find out tomorrow.
He has dozed off a couple of times since getting back here – I’m sure there is still some of the anesthesia they gave him for the procedure in his system but if it’s helping him cat nap I’m glad. I hope tonight his stomach calms down some and he is able to sleep.
Keep the prayers coming – we need and appreciate them all!
Until tomorrow………
Love you all!
Don & Muffin
