Mouth sores

Jordan ran a fever on and off all last night and was given Tylenol every couple of hours to control it.

When she got up this morning, Dr. Tebbi visited her during his rounds. She was feeling okay at the time, but shortly afterwards, she started complaining about chest pain again. They are fairly certain this is all related to acid reflux. However, Dr. Tebbi came back to see her again and prescribed a medicine to take that controls yeast in case she has a yeast build up in her esophagus. Her feels like the Tums, Pepcid and other medication should be giving her relief.

She took more magic mouthwash and tums at the same time and it seemed to give her quite a bit of relief for awhile.

She threw up blood a couple of times this morning. Dr. Tebbi ordered a CT Scan of her stomach and esophagus to make sure there isn’t a problem that would cause her to throw up blood. They were not surprised that she threw up blood as it sometimes happens because the Chemo attacks the body in such a way, it can make the stomach and esophagus become very raw.

Verla came in and weighed Jordan around 8pm. She weighs 48 kgs, which is 105.6 pounds. This is almost a 3 pounds loss from yesterday. Total weight lose of 21 pounds since January 28th.

Carlee had a day pass today to go home for a few hours. Her mom was so excited. She wanted to take her to the movies, but the doctors said no. It’s too risky. She is finally eating and not in pain anymore. These doctors do amazing things on this floor.

She continues to have diarrhea pretty bad. Between this and throwing up, it’s no wonder why she continues to lose weight.
