Day12 June 16, 2009

Today started out after a good night of some rest. I know I rested because I had a pain in my arm.  He did not have a fever but then had them all day.  
Today's plan was a chest xray and an echocardiogram for his heart.  They wanted to make sure there was not any bacteria in his heart.  Just found out the preliminary reports looks good.  
The other issue is the high fevers.  They think he might have pre engraftment syndrome.  They won't really know until the counts come in.  So the plan is to treat him with 3 days of steroids.  The steroids are what caused his hallucinations.  So looks like it might be another crazy few nights.  The good news is that maybe there is starting to be some growth.  I did go and look online and I typically do not do that and it was not so promising with the outcome of the syndrome.  I emailed the doctor and she told me to get off the computer.  
Cody is ok. He is a bit cranky and complains about Sloan sometimes but I just ignore him.  I am happy with all the care and treatment we are getting.  They seem to have something for everything.   The nurses are exceptional.  
I will update tomorrow.  Wish us luck with the steriod issue.
