Week Interrupted

We were having a fun week, then damn you Mr Fever for visiting us this afternoon.

This is the same scenario we had previously. If Liam gets a fever while he's neutropenic, he has to be admitted to the hospital get IV antibiotics. He has no immune system this week, and we don't know what his body is fighting with the fever, but his body can't fight it at the moment.

We'll be in the hospital for a minimum of 48 hours. It'd be optimistic to think we'll get out Friday, but you never know.

There is always a bright side: a) Liam didn't get a fever during cycle 2, we are lucky it's been this long! With all 3 cycles of chemo, we've gotten out of the hospital on schedule b) It's air conditioned at the hospital, we don't have a/c at home, so it's hot in our house right now

Blood counts today

Liam should not look as good as he does or have the energy he does with these numbers! Liam's colour isn't great, but he doesn't look very bad.

Liam is getting a blood transfusion for his hemoglobin, this takes about 3-4 hours. So now Liam is getting antibiotics and blood instead of just antibiotics.
