Back in ICU
Nick is back in ICU due to the fact that he has developed pneumonia and needs more intensive care to treat it.
He has also insisted on being intubated and sedated to help him breathe. The respirator wasn't giving him enough. Between the pneumonia and fluids that he is retaining - he has had a difficult time breathing lately.
One of his doctors contacted me to find out how they can contribute to this blog. I am so impressed by that and hope it is a real indication of the level of "care" he is getting at Hahnemann. With their jobs as demanding as they are - it is amazing that they are able to reach out like that.
Just to catch up a bit...
Nick has completed his cycle of chemotherapy and has been in the process of recovering from that. Last I heard his counts were actually doing pretty well. He started retaining fluids again over the last week and has subsequently developed pneumonia.
