Its been a weird weekend - definitely not as smooth as we would like. Between nursing issues, and scheduling conflicts and some weird goings on with Super Chase - its been unsettling. Chase has been having these episodes or events where he suddenly starts rubbing, hitting, scratching at his arms saying there are bugs in his veins and they are biting him. You can tell it freaks him out - and I am sure it scares him - the first time - I wasnt sure if his hands had fallen asleep - its hard for him to describe what hes feeling - so you never know. Yesterdays was the worst - poor guy was obviously feeling something very uncomfortable. He was almost crying asking for something to kill the bugs in his veins. We tried massaging - ice packs and pretend bug spray. It just really seemed to go away on its own after about 15 mins. So tomorrow morning the phone calls will begin. All I know to do is call his PCP - and just see what he says - call his GI to see if its potentially related to the neuropathy he warned me about with long term flagyl use. I will be calling the neurologist to see if this is something he is familiar with - and calling his pharmacist to see if its potentially a medication side effect. All I know is somethings not right. Low grade fevers - higher than normal blood pressure - and constantly chasing his fluids. I am hoping its a simple issue with an easy fix - I just have never seen him experience anything like this - and its horrible to watch and you cant do anything to help. SO that was our weekend - how was yours??
