Yesterday's appointment went well. The doctor said that the cat scan showed lots of fluids and gas build up in his sinus area. I didn't know that your sinus area could get gas.The cat scan was from July 9th. The doctor then looked into Richard's ear and said he couldn't see the fluid buildup so he sent us to get an ex-ray of Richard's sinus area and then we took them back to his office. He said that it showed much improvement. Richard will go back on the 5th of September and will be doing a steroid nose spray daily until then. The doctor is hoping that it will be completely resolved by then.
Richard's blood pressure was low. It was 90 over 60 so Richard is upping his fluids some more. He weighed 161 with his clothes and shoes on. He is still having problems with his breathing and is very fatigued. Since the problems apparently are not stemming from sinus problems hopefully the bone marrow Doctor will have some answers.
