No Break for the Weary...

I think I jinxed things for Connor by saying how great it was that he was going to get a break from the hospital for 4 whole weeks. He spiked a fever over the weekend and since he has a compromised immune system from the chemo & steroids, along with a port...off to the hospital we went to make sure it isn't a line infection.

I called Atlanta and they said to take him straight in and he spent the morning getting blood cultures, antibiotics, and a chest x-ray done. We are wiped out! If the blood cultures come back positive-he goes back for an inpatient stay for more antibiotics. (but we would have to do this in Atlanta)

I think he just has a virus since his immune system is so down right now-but if there is an infection in his port, better safe than sorry...

Samantha had her first really good day at school today! :) That was especially good news after the difficult morning with Connor.I am so proud of her-she is being so brave!

That is about it, hoping the hurricane stays far, far, away from our neck of the woods since Ryan and Stacy are going to Camp Sunshine this weekend for sibling camp. They are starting to get excited about going since we got their supplies all organized. I got them rain ponchos in case of rain and they keep making fun of them, lol. I bet they won't be laughing if it starts pouring rain while they are there!

We are still seeing side effects from the steroids-Connor has had a temper like we have never seen before! He has been very possessive for the first time ever as well, especially with his markers. I am hoping the temper will fade as the month goes on until the next round.

Love and blessings,
Debbie
