The Wrinkle in the Plan

We didn't get out of St. Louis as quickly as we had planned. His shot was scheduled for 3:30 pm. We checked out of the lodge and got to the hospital at 3pm. When we arrived, Denny started feeling bad. Eventually, he got to lay back in a recliner. He said he felt light-headed; like he was going to pass out. His skin looked snow-white and his forehead was beaded with sweat. The nurse took his blood pressure and it was really low. She took it in both arms and got low readings. They called the doctor and hydration was ordered. It took about an hour but then he was back to himself and feeling good. We are not sure what caused the wrinkle in the plan but he wasn't released until they felt he was okay. They gave him his shot of Neulasta and we headed for home. We got back to Tennessee about 11:30pm. Everything is back to normal and he is feeling very good today; just a little tired.

Love to all,
Deb
