I am happy to report that Pete is much better this morning, after half a scare early this morning.
The Doctors had ordered some steroids to speed up his recovery. Late yesterday afternoon, he was developing a reaction towards it. He was hallucinating and seeing agonizing images every time he closes his eyes. It became so bad that he could not sleep at all. Only after sedating him could he sleep. He slept well after 3.45am.
Dr Wong administered the chemo MTX for him at 11.00. She has also taken some fluid samples for testing. He needs to lie down for the next 4 hours.
He is off drip now and we will monitor for a day. If all is well, Pete can go home tomorrow. Please continue to pray for his recovery.
Oh, another piece of good news, the CEA markers have come down to 12. This is fantastic news, it means the chemo is working. He had 2 earlier doses of MTX.
Alleluia and thanks be to God.
We would like to record our sincere and deepest apreciation to Nancy
& Stephen,Eileen &Norbert, Mike&Gillian, Tai Tee& Angie, for all the practical help rendered.
We continue to request no visitors as he is now on chemo. We thank all for your understanding. We draw strength knowing that many have been storming heaven for Pete.
The Lord has indeed answered your prayers and granted Pete a speedy recovery. Please continue to pray that the chemo will be very effective in destroying all the cancer cells.
To God be the Glory!
