Day 4

Dan had a rough night. He spiked a fever, had a chest xray (routine when you have a fever), a CT scan of his sinuses; multiple people came in and out during the night. The lining of his stomach, mouth, throat are injured from the radiation. He has not been able to eat much at all. He also still has a sinus infection so a squad of ENT physicians came in and shoved probes up his nose and swabbed it to check for infection. Dan's nurses are trying hard to manage his symptoms.
