Back at the ER

Well we are back in the emergency room. Neal has been having problems keeping food down and he has a real bad headache. I am not sure what is going on. He usually gets these headaches after dialysis, however he did not have dialysis today yet or yesterday. He tried to self medicate, however he could not keep the pills down. We are waiting for a doctor now. Once we figure out the problem we will be notifying the transplant center to determine whether or not the transplant is still on as scheduled. I will post another update once we figure out what is going on. Good news is his oxygen level was 100 and many of you know he was on oxygen around the clock less than a month ago. His blood pressure was normal for him and he did not have a fever.

Due to the increased gas prices and the number of trips we make to the ER, I am looking for a used roller skate, I mean Ford Festiva! If anyone has one I am sure Neal would appreciate it!

UPDATE
The cultures that were done on Sunday pointed towards no infection. That is a relief. They are thinking it was a result of his blood thinners. They are going to run a ton of tests today. He is currently getting a CT scan of his head to check for bleeding. After the tests come back they will discuss with Neal's doctor whether he should be admitted. The preliminary discussions are that the nausea is a result of the steroids he has been on for over 10 years. It is possible that these can affect your stomach over time. I am trying to research this now. I will post again once we have a final medical opinion.
