Friday we went for regular bloodwork to check counts and he ended up having a fever. They gave a round of antibiotics on the pump. Did another x ray and from what they can see it is still pneumonia. The pulmonary doctor started him on a different antibiotic. Hoping and praying it will get rid of the pneumonia. His cough is wicked at times. It is so dangerous for him to have pneumonia with having only one lung and the bottom lobe is already compromised from radiation and the tumor that was there. We see the pulmonologist tomorrow and orthopedic surgeon. His leg has been hurting and he has not been able to put pressure on it. The oncology doctor said he can start chemo on Friday this week instead of Tuesday depending on what the pulmonologist says and how we feel.
