Quick Update

Paul spent Saturday night and most of Sunday in the hospital. He was still so nauseated that he couldn't keep any food or medicine down so we thought it best to get him rehydrated and figure out what was causing the problem. They did a CT of his abdomen to rule out any type of mechanical cause (blockage, growth, etc.) The results were negative. Sunday morning Dr. Hancock stopped by to see how Paul was doing. He determined that the likely cause was a gastrointestinal bug that has been making the rounds in Madison County. He had another chemo patient there, for the same reason. After a good night's rest - at home - and some homemade chicken noodle soup, Paul is feeling much better. He even drove himself into town today! This is the first time since surgery. We are confident that he will be well enough to make the trek to Utah for Thanksgiving, although I did buy some masks for him to wear to cut the risk of exposure to any other nasty viruses that may be in the vicinity.
