Hospital Update

Grant spiked a temperature last night, so after talking to the on-call oncologist, we headed to the ER about 11:30. They did all of their usual poking and prodding. His blood counts came back and his white blood count and ANC were VERY low so they decided to admit him. He was supposed to have another shot, 2 chemos in his port and start steriods today. But, he will not be doing any of that. We will just wait....
The good news is that his x-ray showed his lungs were clear and he tested negative for the flu. They have been giving him anitbiotics by IV and tylenol for his temperature. His temp broke and he is feeling much better. He is painting a wooden car in his hospital room right now.
We are all very tired and will definitely need to catch up on some sleep tonight. We will be taking things one day at a time, so we have no idea how long we could be here. The oncologist that saw him today, Dr. Eames, said that we could be here a week. The problem will be when they start chemo again, it will continue to knock his numbers down.
We are confined to his room until he has been 24 hours w/o fever. And the entire hospital is in lockdown mode b/c of the flu, so we can not have any visitors. We just covet your prayers and thank the Lord that Grant is in such great care.
