Shelley has been spending the most time with Nathan so she has the most knowledge to post but... she has been spending a lot of time with Nathan and has had no time to post. Shelley slept (I use that term loosely) at the hospital last night and will again tonight. Tomorrow will be my night.
Nathan has been getting fevers pretty steady and this time, for the first time, his blood culture came back positive. He does have a bug we just don't know if it is a good thing or bad thing yet... it's good that we know what is causing and aren't guessing like every other time, but can we control it? That we don't know yet. Nathan's coutns are pretty much at zero. Neutrophils were 0.00, WBC was .31 and platelets were down to 17. They gave Nathan plasma and platelets today as he did have leg needles this afternoon. Nathan absolutely rocked the needles today, did them together and didn't show any pain - what a tough little man.
Tomorrow we meet with the radiation doctor to determine when Nathan will start his radiation treatment on his testes. Friday morning we finally get to talk with Dr Lewis - we better have some good questions prepared so that all of our pestering is worth while!
I talked with Carter and Justin tonight and they are having a good time at G&G Mcleods. Please continue to pray for our family.
