Never a dull moment around here. The good news for this post is that Xavier is doing really well with the new medication, Erwinia. It's no fun for him to get shots in his legs every other day, but he is handling it like a superhero! (and so far no allergic reactions either). The bad news from this past weekend is that we spent it in the hospital. Xavier had an appointment for chemo on Friday, and when we went in he was running a low fever. They checked him again 2 hours later and it wasnt going down so his Dr. advised that we admit him to keep things under control. They took great care of him and had him on IV fluids, as well as IV antibiotics for 72 hours, which is standard procedure for cancer patients. Unfortunately, this is the rule everytime he has a fever. They cant be too careful in our situation. So it was a long weekend, and we are so glad to be home.
X has appointments for the next 3 days and then he gets a 9 day break which we are SO looking forward to. Hopefully I will get him to post here soon.
Love, Cherie
