Andy's family blog

Andy doesn't care what I blog about this weekend, so do you want the naked truth or not? Brace yourself! It was not as good as what we would like but not as bad as it could have been. On Friday, Andy went to Huntsman for a CT scan with contrast. Everything went well until around 10:30pm that night. Around midnight, Andy woke me up because he was too cold and feeling extremely ill. To look at him, his skin was bright beet red. We checked his blood pressure and called Huntsman for advise. The nurse I talked to, said that without seeing Andy she felt he may be having an allergic reation to the contrast and said that we should go to the emergency room at the local hospital if it continues and worsens. We did not go. Andy did not feel as though it was needed. I personally think he is sick of nurses and hopitals, no matter how nice they may be. We also feel that this problem is because of the contrast he took for the CT scan. He had similar reactions after the last CT scan in April. That is one reason the Dr. wants to do the scan a week before he goes back in for IL2 treatment to give Andy's body a break and to heal.
Saturday came and we celebrated Morgan's birthday. Morgan had a couple of friends over and played his heart out. Andy didn't feel much better, and slept off and on throughout the day. With the help of benadryll, Andy is feeling better today. Tomorrow may bring something different, but Andy is planning to go to work. Thank you for all that each of you do for us. We mean that, your prayers are helping more than you all know. THANK YOU!! You are all in our prayers also.
