Feeling Better Today

3pm Update:
Nick is fine. He was just waiting for chemo and one more antibiotic and then he is going home with Grammy. Tom (our 18 month old), has just been admitted to the ER. He had an ear infection last week and the past 2 days he was wheezing pretty good. Nancy (our daycare) called this morning to say he was really coughing and struggling. We trust Nancy so much and am so glad she called us. She offered to take Tom to the doctors for us. (I was still w/Nick & Greg is in CT for work). So sweet, since she takes of all those kids. Grammy was able to come and get and bring him to the pediatricians office. After a couple of neb treatments his wheezing did not go away and on top of a fever and ear infection not healing, the doctor recommended taking him to the ER. So, here I am with him now and he is sleeping. My mom (Grammy) is upstairs with Nick. I'll post more once the doctor comes in and we know what the plans are.

Nick is feeling much better today. They kept the oxygen on him all night and he was great. He tried to fight the nose tube but we explained to him that is wants to go to JJ's Bday party this weekend, we had to get better. He woke up once to go to the bathroom and for some reason his oxygen levels started to fluctuate and go down again. We were able to get it under control after a while. He slept great and is now coloring and just finished painting his lizard. His counts are their way up, except the RBC: 8.6. This is borderline transfusion but I think the doctor is going to hold off for now because his body is doing well. We hope to be out of here by this afternoon. He will receive his Methotraxate today (they held it off yesterday). I am not sure if we will send him to school tomorrow, we'll wait and see how he feels in the morning. Karen
