Day 8: Well, last night was probably the scariest night I have ever had. Camden's secretions were so bad. I had to continuously suction his mouth and hold an oxygen mask to his face the entire night. He was choking on mucous. With Cam never having mucositis before, we did not fully know what to expect...it was BAD! They were doing chest xrays to rule out potential "other" problems. To top it off...he vomited his ng tube AGAIN...requiring ANOTHER xray of his abdomen. AND, he had a red blood cell transfusion and fevers. BUT...Since then, his day today has been much better! I got him in the bathtub again and he has been able to rest throughout the day despite intermittent suctioning. He wasn't able to open his mouth or talk last night and he is today. They upped his morphine for better pain control. His fevers broke! And the GREAT news is that his WBC went from 50 to 60 to 270! They do not calculate ANC until his WBC is 300....so hopefully tomorrow we will be over 300...and praying tomorrow we will have an ANC of something/anything!!! We need an ANC of 500 for 3 days for discharge! Feeling thankful symptoms started late and hopefully are short lived! I am so proud of my boy!!!! Thank you Jesus for getting us through another battle!
