Andrew was released Friday night and he seemed to be doing pretty well considering this was his 6^th treatment and it was a hard one.  Saturday he enjoyed his sisters company now that she is back, but Sunday he hit a wall.  He got really dark circles around his eyes and he was incredibly irritable and spent most of the day in his room and didn’t have the energy to walk around. 

Yesterday morning he would not get out of bed when my cousin came to watch him and he told her he couldn’t do his physical therapy, which is very out of character for him, he loves physical therapy.  By noon he had thrown up three times.  So we took him to the dr. and he got fluids and some anti-nausea medication.  He still looked bad when I left him, but my cousin said he had perked up and the dark circles had gone away.  Alas, when I got home around 6 he was back to the way he was before.  I gave him more meds and he threw up another two times with increasing blood in both.  That was enough for me, we called the dr.  and he told us to go to the ER.  So we spent most of the night there and were admitted to the pediatric wing around 1:00am and finally were able to go to bed around 2:00am.  He woke up this morning gagging and threw up but is looking a little better, less like death, more like really pasty kid.  He gets more chemo today but it shouldn’t affect him too much.  We hope this will be a short stay.
