Day 18 June 22, 2009

Well, we had an uneventful night.  We usually get to sleep around 12 and are up all through the night. I woke up at 3:00 and he was still sleeping and without a fever.  Casey called from CA and we talked for a few.  He is there for a few weeks then here July 11.  Can't wait for that.

Cody did spike a fever around 6 am but they are giving him celebrex for it. ( I Know, I never heard of that either.) Seems to be working.  Our doctor was in this morning and she will be doing a biopsy on Thursday to see if there are cells in his bone marrow.  This will be a nervous waiting period, to say the least.  I am already nervous.  If he still has this rash, she will do a biopsy of that too.  She thinks it could be from the fevers, from a reaction to a medicine or graft vs host disease which we hope is not.  All are treatable but we would like to stay away from steroids if we can.  The graft vs host disease is a rejection from his body.  Please say some extra prayers for a positive biopsy report and for a negative GVH disease report.  It is literally one day at  a time.

On a good note, the blood sugars are back to normal.  Now it is trying to find something he wants to eat. The room is full of snacks because he tries one of everything.  Today the choice is wheat thins.  I am about to go for my daily walk to get those.  

Thank you all for reading.  oxoxoxoxo
