The happiness didn't last long! We were looking forward to going home on monday but Paul suddenly had very severe pain at his chest at 2am. The pain score was 7(usually it's about 3-5). After given 10ml of morphine, pain didn't subside and jab was given thru iv but it didn't help and he was given another strong painkiller injections which helped to subside the pain for only about half an hour. Doctor Heng came to see him at the ward and after examining him, he gave him stronger dose of morphine jab thru iv and he managed to doze off after that.
At 7am this morning, his temperature was 38.9deg. He was given anti-biotic and ECG was done. Cardiologist came and confirmed there's no sign of heart attack. Doctor reckon it may be due to infections of the hickmen line or reflux of fluid and blood culture test was carried out.
Paul suddenly felt very dizzy at about 930am and his blood pressure was very low: 57/41 and the nurse took the bp every 10-15 mins and it remained the same. Doctor gave him saline to increase his bp and if the bp doesn't improve in an hour or two, doctor wants him to be warded in the high dependency ward for observation.
Just have to continue to pray and wait.
