Beginning Our Journey
May. 20, 2008
YAWN! I am so ready for bed!
I am ready to crawl into bed. My leg is aching bad! With Tristans pregnancy and this one, my right leg just aches! From the hip down to my ankle! Oh the memories came rushing back of how long I ached with Tristans pregnancy! I think until I had him! Well round two! Heating pad here I come!
But I figured I owed you all to come on and thank you for prayers for Tristan. I know my good friends were praying as my mom called the prayer chains. THANK YOU!
Monday mom and I took the kids shopping. Tristan napped in the cart, HE ALWAYS falls asleep in the car on the short way to the store! And when he woke up was feeling fine. We got popcorn at target and headed to walmart. He was fine in walmart until I got him out of the cart. Then he decided he wanted held by my mom and was NOT going to let her put him down. We tried, he threw a fit and practically climbed her. Embarrassing! Mom held him longer and said she noticed he was feeling warm. So we got our bread and checked out.
I got home and found the thermometer and was getting a reading of 100.5. Ok... almost the magical 101 number that all leukemia families learn to dread. I called the nurse on call and told her that it was that high and also informed her of us being around a sick friend the other day. She told us if it was not 101 then just wait.
So I paced. I knew Justin would not be happy if I waited too long. So mom went home to let the dog out to pee and I decided to wake Justin. He only had 4 hours of sleep. He was not thrilled and of course super worried. He got the thermometer and I have NO CLUE what I do wrong! NO CLUE! HE got 101.8 on one side and 101.9 on the other. And when we did get to the ER his temps were confirmed as the true temps.
So off we go to childrens. Monday around 4ish. We were there in the ER until 10. We got home at 11. They took blood and are seeing if it grows bacteria. It has 24 hours to show nothing then we should be clear. 48 hours they let it test to see if it grows anything. He was given a STRONG antibiotic and told to come back to clinic for his appointment.
He got to come home accessed. That made him happy.
So we had a super nice day at clinic. Tristans temps are gone. Just as fast as they came yesterday, today they are gone. I thank you all for your prayers!
He went ahead with his normal treatment and is doing fine. A tad cranky but his temps are down and we are chugging along as normal.
I guess it was a 24 hour viral bug or something. No clue. But thanking God for keeping his hand on Tristan. It is really a scary thing when they spike the fever so fast and you are rushed to the ER.
Tristan got a super cool hat at clinic today. Although it should say "Cancer Fears my Savior!" But hey, he lives in us so this works too 
I am not sure if I will get him to wear it much. He put it on to show grandpa but that is about it. lol He prefers ball caps.
Now I am off to bed! Thank you all! I have the most amazing friends in the world! I appreciate it and I know it is your prayers that carry us through! Thank you!
