Well, today we had to go to the doctor for a dressing change on the PICC line. Yet, this time we also had to have our first "sick visit".
Kagan has sores all along the inside of his mouth along his tongue on each side. This is making it quite difficult for him to talk and/or eat. Dr. Rossbauch said it was definately a sign of being neutropenic. Luckily, they did give him a prescription for some medicine that will help him get rid of the hurting in a few days.
We did Kagan's CBC and his ANC was at 126 which is the lowest his counts have ever been. We are going to do some GCSF shots to increase his counts so that he can qualify for chemo next Wednesday.
He did come home and laid down to take a nap. It is nice to see him getting some rest since I know he has to be completely wore out from today.
In a brief moment our lives were changed forever. Our precious and amazing 15 year old son received a diagnosis of Hodgkin's Lymphoma and our new journey begins. A journey with him finding victory over this "C" word. This blog is our journey for our family and friends to share in Kagan's fight.
