Cameron finally had a good nights sleep. He slept through from 5pm last night through 8am this morning with only a few disruptions while his nurses took vitals and made sure he was comfortable. This is good news because it means that his pain is being controlled and presumably the chemotherapy is having an effect.
He finished his 5th day of chemo a few hours ago which is the end of cycle one, unfortunately he is still having fevers so needs to be closely monitored to make sure they are not infection related. If all goes well we hope to have him home on Tuesday.
Granma is doing a great job of supervising the preparations for his home coming - I dare any germ to try and get within a 100 yards of the house. The chemotherapy has suppressed Cameron's immune system considerably so we have to be super diligent about protecting him. A fever in his case is considered an emergency and will most likely require that he be brought in to the ER. Our training on how to manage his home care and health issues starts tommorrow.
We went for a wagon ride around the ward today just to get a change of scenery - Ted (his Teddy bear) came with and the nurses all got a good wave. The rest of the day has been devoted to episodes of Olivia.
Yay - a giant balloon has just arrived from the gift shop - let's see if it will lift Ted.
Thank you God for giving little Cameron the well deserved rest he needs. So happy to hear that he got to go for a ride on the wagon with teddy. God is good. Love to Cameron and James. Prayers, love and peace to Nikki and Frank.
