Another Day

I had to call Nathan's Oncologist at 2 am Monday morning. Beginning on Saturday Nathan started acting really fussy and it reached a peak Monday morning. He woke up inconsolable , he had a mouth sore which is a common side effect from his chemo but in addition to that he just seemed uncomfortable so I decided to call. He didn't have a fever which was a good thing so I gave him something for pain and rocked him back to sleep after talking to his Oncologist.

All day Monday I was on the phone back and forth with the Oncology team giving "status updates" on Nathan's progress. My parents had come up to help me clean. My house is horribly behind...we spent all day cleaning just the kitchen. During the time we were cleaning I noticed Nathan had a rash on his face and showed it to my parents and my friend who was over, a rash could possibly symbolize the onset of an infection. Since he didn't have a fever the doctors said it was ok for him to wait and come in today. So at 9 am this morning I took him to in to see his doctor.

Thankfully when he woke up this morning the rash was better and his voice is starting to come back which is a good thing. He did however have a low grade fever when we checked into the doctors office but it wasn't enough that he had to be hospitalized. We had to keep an eye on him and keep checking it periodically, and now he's asleep and it hasn't gone up, and I'm praying it doesn't go up tonight or he will have to be hospitalized (he'll be staying overnight again this week).

Dear Lord,

Please take this cancer from Nathan and give us strength.

In Jesus name
Amen
