Back to the hospital

Good morning everyone. It was a rough weekend for Jim. He developed a terrible cough on Wednesday or Thursday....and it just kept progressing. We had an appointment with his oncologist to review all the scans this morning (Monday) so we kept thinking that we would wait until then to have his cough checked out. Well, the poor guy wasn't able to get any sleep and was getting so weak from coughing and coughing. I, of course, became concerned that he may have developed pneumonia again. Yesterday afternoon we went into Methodist ER and he was admitted. It doesn't appear to be pneumonia....good news. It is concerning, however, that he has this terrible cough. He needs sleep and comfort....and they have lots of good medicine to help with that. Hopefully he had a better nights sleep. I didn't get a call during the night, so I'm hopeful that he got some rest. I am headed into the hospital now. We will have a day filled with tests and consultations with his oncologists. He was scheduled to start chemo. anyway (either traditional or with that study), so perhaps all of this will move that plan up even more. Please keep Jim in your thoughts...he needs a little extra boost of strength from all of us.
Love,
Elizabeth
