Today has been really hard on Rory. He was hurting so much during dialysis, it took morphine and dilaudid to control it. And now, he is whacked out due to that amount of narcotics he needed. And on top of that, he is spiking a fever of 101-102. That *could* be from the narcotics also, but could also be an infection.

I did go to the appeals committee meeting out in Oakland (100 miles each way). I am not sure how it turned out, since they don't give an answer right then. I do hope that they make the right decision and give Rory the medication he needs. I did hear that there is some sort of meeting here tomorrow about it, and the doctor that gave Rory the drug initially will be there. He did verify that some of the nodules did disappear, and have not returned, which may provide the "objective" evidence that somebody wants. We will have to wait and see. I guess if the answer was going to be no, then they would not have this meeting, but we wait until tomorrow.
