Tony had one oxygen panic attack in the middle of the night last. But he had no fevers. His potassium continues to be low, so he had to take it orally and intravenously. He is also taking several antibiotics to try and combat whatever is going on in his gut.
They took an x-ray of his belly today and it showed that his bowels are immobilized and enlarged. His oncologist got the GI doctors involved, but they said their hands are tied because his platelets are too low to do any kind of minor procedures or surgeries. So for now, it's just antibiotics. And they told him not to eat anything.
Tomorrow, he is supposed to get a bone marrow biopsy done, but if his gut is worse tomorrow, they may have to put it off a couple days. He's getting a platelet transfusion and a blood transfusion in the morning to prepare for the biopsy.
That’s so hard. Many many prayers for you all.
