So yesterday was overall a good day. They decreased Cam's morphine again. The next step is to stop continuous morphine and only do the PCA pump and from there it will switch to oral medications. They moved us out of the transplant unit and onto the oncology floor. Third move/room in 3 weeks...was hoping the next pack and unpack was for home...but the room change is the least of my concerns. Camden's little body decided to go in and out of low grade fevers all night. So he was started on 2 antibiotics and blood cultures were sent to check for infection. Fevers are very common even with negative cultures. Fever #1 has 24 hours to subside and can be treated with Tylenol. Blood cultures are sent to check for infection, and he will be on antibiotics for 48 hours. If a fever spikes again after those initial 24 hours, the cycle starts over again with blood cultures every 24 hours and additional antibiotics for 48....we bought ourselves a longer stay....but the goal is to do whatever it takes to get Camden healthy again!! He just tried physical therapy, but it didn't go so well. Still not eating. ****Praying that little cancer spot is gone after the megadose of chemo and the <5% cancer in his bone marrow is gone after the transplant!! We still have some recovery time before radiation starts. Praying, praying, praying.....
***and he threw up his nose tube this morning...again (bummer)!!!
