Already day 2! Wow! Day 1 was all three doses of Incivek and two doses of ribaviron and then the weekly dose of pega-interferon. All was going very well, until bedtime, then Gary started to get the chills and a fever. I am not sure which thing triggered that, but it lasted all night, so neither of us slept real well. The good thing was that his blood sugars were all lower than usual, but I was nervous about that, so about every 2-4 hours I was checking his blood sugars. He was a good patient yesterday and even all night. The 2 am blood sugar test he was a bit grumpy about, but he did fine.
This morning he woke up very nauseous. That wasn't fun, but after a trip to the bathroom, he was able to rest peacefully until his morning dose at 8 am. Today he has been very tired and has rested most of the day, as did I. His fevers have been better and no chills today. He ate whole grain pop tarts and coffee for breakfast followed by fresh cherries. He had a small slice of pizza for lunch, and ice cream and a couple oreos this afternoon for his 4 pm dose of Incivek. He has been drinking a lot of water as well.
As far as side effects (sx), nothing other than chills, fever, nausea and aches and exhaustion. It seems a bit early for all that, but maybe not. Tomorrow we will head to the hospital for his labs. They are going to test for Prograf levels, CBC, CMP and INR and also VL.
We have talked to several family members today and I appreciate all their support! Thanks! xxooxx
PEACE~HOPE~LOVE
Allison and Gary
