First treatment seemed to go very well. He was okay until tonight. Drove himself to the clinic to have the 46 hour pump removed and drove home.
Had some hydration while he was there as he still has difficulty with swallowing and it seems to perk him up.
But this evening around 9pm I was upstairs folding laundry and I heard a noise downstairs. My son and I ran down and found Rich on the kitchen floor.
He had taken the dogs outside then come back in to give them a treat. Said he felt weak and landed on the floor.
Spit up a little phlegm but managed to get himself up as he insisted he wanted to do it himself.
He made it to the couch, then had to go to the bathroom. He managed to climb upstairs and take care of himself then go back down to the couch.
He is resting now and says he just feels weak.
I called the on call doctor and we had a good discussion. She said to keep an eye on him for temperature change, vomiting, or diarrhea.
Ugh.
