Scary words to hear from your son's oncologist- "Cody, you almost died from that infection." Both of our mouths dropped open. Scary to say the least.
Cody's counts are recovering but not enough to start chemo on Monday. So that is delayed a week. Cody's dr said once we resume chemotherapy on the 6th, it will be 25% less than the regular dose. This is what the dr feared, that Cody's body would not be able to handle all the treatment. We are continuing with radiation and will be heading in tomorrow but we have Saturday and Sunday off. Thank goodness the traffic is lighter this week. Next week, we will probably need to do the train with New Year's. I am trying to work out the details of the week for the 6th and not sure how that will pan out. Cody will get his mediport placement on Friday. That will be in the OR and will require anesthesia. Looking forward to a quiet night and easy ride in tomorrow.
Today once we were home, Cody wanted to practice with his rc car. He has not been there in a while. He called my friend Bernadette and asked her to go. She has been wanting to try it. They both had a good time. Then we joined friends Moira and her niece Meghan for dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings. It was a nice afternoon and evening.
Sweet dreams all…night.
My goodness! What a horrific turn of events! I am glad that everyone was on top of everything and that Cody is being cared for so well. I am sorry that you had to hear such frightening words and hope that you will never ever hear them again. Enjoy the few days' rest, have a peaceful, healthy (completely regained) and happy New Year!
