Rory is back in the hospital today. He could not finish dialysis, due to the pain, and that everytime he flinched, the machine would alarm and stop. He did get most of it, but not all. He is in extreme pain, requiring IV dilaudid as well as the fentanyl patches. It is much, much worse when he is on dialysis. When we got to the E.R. this time, we were treated with the respect and dignity we should have been afforded on Thursday, but were denied.

Rory's calciphylaxis has now spread to his right chest area (in the breast tissue). And it is also starting to hurt. It is spreading around his left side to his back once again. If this isn't proof that the sodium thiosulfate was working until they refused to give it again, I don't what is. He is slowly being killed by doctors that are not caring for the patient, but for Kaiser.
