#gi bug

[theunstuffedpepper]

Yesterday - kids sick at home. I got to escape for a 2.5 mile birding walk. First of the season. Didn’t see much except for a few blackbirds, crows, red-tailed hawks, and most notably, a flock of beautiful eastern bluebirds. One of my faves.

Today - terribly sick with the flu or some GI bug. I spent most of my night in the bathroom and the rest of it comforting Holden who already had this GI bug. It’s now turned into an ear infection… and possibly strep? Brendan is taking him to the pediatrician as we speak. Please, whoever is listening, please let Derrick escape this without becoming febrile and let this be the last illness of winter for our household. Please. And thanks.

GI bugs are the worst. I hate them my back and throat hurt from throwing up all day I'm afraid to eat or drink anything. I told my mom whose response was go tell my boyfriend who called me in a panic asking if I was dead and have I eaten or drank anything.... So that was nice at least.

New regimen postponed

Just a quick update. Due to the dreadful GI Bug that has spread through our home, Judah's counts were low and he was severely dehydrated when we went to clinic Monday. This, coupled with the difficulty in finding the Procarbazine (1 of the 4 drugs in TPCV) AND finding a pharmacy capable of compounding it for him, Dr. Spiller decided to postpone his start date until next Monday. Dr. Esbenshade at Vanderbilt agreed it was best to wait since Judah has been sick and said as long as we started no later than Monday he wouldn't be too worried. 

We have an MRI scheduled in 2wks so we will have a better tumor update then. 

He received a bag of fluids before we left and seems to be feeling better than he was. He even had a semi-solid poop this afternoon! Sorry for the over share but it's the first 1 in 5 days so we are celebrating!!!

Continue to pray with us for:

-Healing from this GI Bug 

-No tumor growth

-Little to no side effects from new regimen 

Resting between His shoulders

I don't have shingles

But I'm allergic to nickel and have a serious GI bug. Sigh.

Eh, atleast I don't have shingles
