We have had a busy week so far. Kohlton is not taking steroids this round of chemo per protocol. So they have warned us that the side effects might be worse. Even told us day two would almost guarantee a fever. So Monday Kohltons appetite completely went away after chemo. I had to give him some meds to help with nausea but he did pretty well over the day. Tuesday came and we were told that Kohltons sed rate in his blood work came back high, normal is 0-10 and he was at 30. So they informed us that he would be having more blood work Friday and if it was still high we would need to see the doctor. Well just like they had warned us day two, Tuesday, he got a fever. Not only did he have that he also had nausea, actually got sick, and had leg pains. We had to go to the ER for the fever and they did blood cultures, gave him antibiotics, and sent us home. He still got sick early this morning and had a fever. Once we woke up to start the day his fever was gone but he still was nauseous. They did chemo still. He started feeling not so hot during/after chemo. He started getting the chills and a fever again. We were done with chemo and counts were good so we got to go home. As I was driving out of the parking lot the ER called me to tell me to come ASAP to the ER. They said Kohltons blood cultures grew a bacteria. So we had to turn around and go straight there. Once we got there they did blood work and started antibiotics right away. They then moved us to his room where he will stay till he has clear blood cultures. He has an allergic reaction to one of the antibiotics, that he's had several times. He started pulling his hair out screaming "it hurts mommy, my head hurts!" Turns out he was having a rash move from the back of his head to his face and down his neck. He is ok now. I won't lie, I was very frightened! Still am! But I know God will heal him and we will be home soon.
Please keep praying for him. We are so thankful for all the love and support. And the prayers!! We got to FaceTime Kason tonight and it was awesome. To see them interact was just amazing! I love those boys so much! We both do!
Please keep our family in your prayers. Especially Kohlton! Thank you everyone so much!
