No fever since Saturday, but Jimmy's really, really weak and short of breath. He has stayed on oxygen round the clock. His last antibiotic is tomorrow. Should he take another round? Are the Tylenol he's been taking keeping his temperature down? Has his incessant cough abated because of the oxygen? Why has he had this chronic cough and shortness of breath for well over a year?
Last night Jimmy wrenched his back, trying to stand up, and we had to load him up on pain meds. We're holding our breath that all the coughing and moving wrong caused the pain, and not the myeloma. But we've had to stop the cancer drugs because of the respiratory problems. Arrrgh.
