CETUXIMABViews: 33

the new infusion of cetuximab was set for 1pm today, but a prolonged bump of accessing her port delayed this process until 9pm. the amazing RN Robin sat in and checked vitals every 15 minutes to make sure no side effects occurred, and incrementally increased the rate of flow until the 300+ cc’s were complete. which was completed around 2am. no side effects during this, but some might pop up in the next couple of days.
toni, deneen and i chatted and ate a whole lotta food. including donuts that robin brought in and luigi’s. angel part took in some luigi’s greek salad and his macronata. she might have paid for it later in the morning with stomach cramps, but satisfied getting it down. this makes luigi really happy that his food is a constant for angel and has more on the way.
