Ahhh, where to begin? Well for starters Kade gave us a scare a few days ago when his temperature went up to just below fever, then came back down. When we went back to the hospital for bloodwork a couple of days later we found out that his white blood cell count was virtually nonexistent...yikes. We have been giving him injections to boost his white blood cell count as part of his treatment, so this is all par for the course! The drug we have to give him needs to be refridgerated. So imagine our horror, when after we filled his prescription, we discovered we had left it in the car all day in the heat! Back we go to the hospital on the Sunday of the long weekend to get more life saving drugs for our baby! The parent of the year award goes to...!
Now we are back in the hospital getting chemo for the third week of round one! So far so good, this chemo is scary stuff though...lots of risks. However the alternative isn't very appealing!
We will have lots of hospital stays with this cycle of treatment, and hopefully Kade will avoid any infections while his counts are low. With a little luck he won't need any transfusions either, but unfortunately infections and transfusions are quite common during this treatment...very scary!
