Day 11 June 15, 2009

Today started out ok but soon enough, he got a fever.  This is his pattern but I do hope it breaks soon.  He was ok all morning and we were scheduled for a CAT scan at 3:00.  The drs just wanted to get a clearer picture of his lungs and sinuses.  Thank goodness all turned out ok and nothing more was seen.  There is fluid and one area they are watching but looks good.   A new antifungal would start.  Well, 15 minutes into the new antifungal, Cody had a reaction.  He just told me he wanted to sleep and then the next thing I know, he is coughing and can't breathe.  He then went into anaphylaxis shock.  Of course, I did not know this.  All I heard was that he could not breathe.  I push the call button and the nurses came running along with a few drs.  Our nurse today, Julie, gave him a steriod and some benadryl and started the oxygen then the nebulizer.  Cody was petrified to say the least.  He calmed down and has been sleeping ever since. I was pretty scared too.  I hope we get some sleep tonight.  I know I will monitoring his breathing for sure.  But just maybe, we can get a little sleep.
