Well, we are almost finished with radiation, and that is good news as we are back at the hospital due to complications from the chemotherapy. We had to go to the ER early Tuesday morning as Jon developed pancreatitis and is currently on a morphine pump for the pain. We have been told this is a side effect from some of the chemo medicine that he has had to take. Alongside this complication, since his pancreas is not working as it should, he is back on insulin since his blood sugar has also been affected.
He cannot take anything by mouth including his medicines so those, with his liquids and food product (in liquid form) are all being administered through the port in his chest. His numbers have dropped as well so he cannot have any visitors but hopefully will be able to reduce the amount of morphine soon so at least he can correspond over the internet. We do not yet know how long it will take to get him better but please keep him in your prayers and we will keep you posted on his progress.
Thanks so much for thinking of us.
