Round 3

Despite a substantial amount of snot and mediocre liver enzyme numbers, we were all systems go for round number 3 of Antibody Therapy this week.

Cameron was admitted on Monday morning and began treatment the following day.  This has been a relatively easy round for Cameron, although he still experienced the usual side effects of pain and itchy hives.  Despite not feeling great, Cameron has been keeping me on my toes!  He's determined to be out of his room as much as possible and I can honestly say that I am exhausted from trying to keep up with him as he races around the unit.  He has so much energy and he fights hard against the sedative effects of the morphine and benadryl, it's great to see him feeling well enough to play - especially when I know what's headed our way in the next round.

Cameron has been quite the celebrity the last couple of weeks.  He was featured in the Giving Guide of the Atlanta Business Chronicle, filmed for a video for the hospital board of directors and was photographed for an article in a local newspaper.  He is taking his new found celebrity status VERY seriously and has already started acting like a Kardashian. 

Here he is in the Giving Guide advert:

 

 



This cycle of Antibody Therapy will be completed tonight and he will be weened off the morphine from midnight - we are scheduled to go home tomorrow afternoon!  3 Down, 2 to go!
