Seth
Friday, August 20, 2010
Hi everyone. Well its been another huge week for us and Seth. The poor little guy was at hospital all day thursday for chemo and a blood and platelet transfusion and then that night he came down with high temperatures and we had to take him back in at around 8pm. He will be in hospital till at least saturday night depending on how he goes with the treatment they are giving him. Initially they have him on a course of antibiotics through his central line and they also have taken blood which they send of to the lab to see if they can grow any nastys on it. If it all comes back clear then he should be right to come home after 48 hours of antibiotics. We had been warned that there could be alot of extra trips into hospital with temperatures etc, but luckily this has been the first time we have had to rush him in at night so far. Anyway if all goes well, he will be back home soon and then we will be back into westmead on monday for another big one, as Seth will need to go on a 6 hour drip which also marks the end of phase 2 of his treatment and then we get a 2 week break with no planned hospital visits. After the 2 week break he will then have another bone marrow test and we will find out what risk catagory he will be in and we are literally holding our breath. Anyway, we will update again soon.
