Well…Cam ended up running into the same issue with him not being able to pee past the early evening and LeAnn and the Senior Intern had a “discussion” about what should be taking place as a result of it. He didn’t spike a fever this time, but his output was pretty much non-existent all night, so they had to give him extra fluids and then lasix right behind that to try to get him to pee. He finally got rid of about a liter within an hour or so and then they could finally start the Chemo med. That part went well, so Day 2 is history.
When I left, he had started the low output again, so I have a feeling this will be a trend from here on out. The good news is that Dr. G had a LOOOOOONG discussion with the interns/residents/fellows so they *SHOULD* know *EXACTLY* what to do tonight in the event it continues as it appears it will. Day 3 will be the same med as today, so hopefully it will go as well as today did and we’ll be finished with all of the Chemo meds for Round 3. We can definitely see the light at the end of the tunnel and it’s not just a tiny speck any more.
LeAnn or I will update again tomorrow, but if you catch this tonight, please pray for his output to stay on a good trend.

Update: Cam had a good night last night with his output, so all is going well so far today. We'll still be delayed because we ran late yesterday, but at least he's not having to go through what he did yesterday morning to get things started. We'll update later this afternoon with today's news.
